Father and Son Interpret the Bible

A young boy had just got his driver's permit and inquired of

his father, an

evangelist, if they could discuss the use of the car. His

father took him to

the study and said to the boy, "I'll make a deal with you,

son. You

bring your grades up from a C to a B-average, study your

Bible a little, and

get your hair cut and we'll talk about the car."

Well, the boy thought about that for a moment and decided

that he'd best settle for the offer, and they agreed. After

about six weeks the boy came back and again asked his father

about the car.

Again, they went to the study where his father said, "Son,

I've been real proud of you. You've brought your grades up,

and I've observed that you've been

studying your Bible and participating a lot more in the

Bible study class on

Sunday morning. But I'm real disappointed since you haven't

got your hair cut."

The young man paused a moment and then said, "You know dad,

I've been thinking about that and I've noticed in my studies

of the Bible that Samson had long hair, Moses had long hair,

John the

Baptist had long hair, and there's even strong argument that

Jesus himself had long hair."

To which his father replied, "You're right, son. Did you

also notice that they all WALKED everywhere they went?"
