God made Adam out of dust
But thought it best to make me first
So I was made before the man
According to Gods holy plan
My whole body God made complete
Without arms, hands, or even feet
My ways and acts did God control
but in my body he placed no soul
A living being I became
and Adam gave to me a name
then from his presence I withdrew
for this man Adam I never knew
All my makers laws I do obey
and from these laws I never stray
Thousands of me go in fear
But seldom on the earth appear
Later for a purpose God did see
he placed a living soul inside of me.
But that soul of mine God had to claim
And from me took it back again.
And when the soul from me had fled
I was the same as when first made
without arms, legs, feet or soul
I travel on from pole- to- pole
My labors are from day to night
and to men I once furnished light.
Thousands of people both young and old
did by my death bright lights behold.

No right or wrong can I conceive
the Bible and its teachings I can't believe.
The fear of death doesn't trouble me
pure happiness I will never see.
And up in Heaven I will never go
nor in the grave or hell below.
So get your Bible and read with care
You'll find my name recorded there.
This is a hard one not many people can guess it!!
Clue: The answer is one word containing 5 letters and appears only 4 times in the KING JAMES version of the Bible.

whale
whale has 5 letters and appeared 4 times in the KJV.
And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:21
Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me?
Job 7:12
Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and thou art as a whale in the seas: and thou camest forth with thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers.
Ezekiel 32:2
For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Matthew 12:40

Okay, this is a tough one!
It couldn't be these anwers because:
1. whale appears 3 times in the King James version bible.
2. angel ..... 194 times...
3. Jesus.....940 times...
4. fish...32 times and doesn't count since it has only 4 characters/letters
5. devil...57 times...
6. snake doesn't appear anywhere in that version of bible.
7. earth....906 times...
8. woman...339 times...
9. satan...49 times...
10. apple 8 times...
11. skies...5 times...
12. blood...375 times...
13. brain....0 times..
14.Pison....once...
