Most people assume WWJD stands for "What
would Jesus do?" But the initials really stand for
"What would Jesus drive?"
One theory is that Jesus would
tool around in an old Plymouth because the Bible says, "God drove
Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden in a
Fury."
Plymouth Fury - in the year of our Lord
1957
But in Psalm 83, the Almighty clearly owns a Pontiac
and a Geo. The passage urges the Lord to, "pursue your enemies with your Tempest and terrify them with
your Storm." - Psalm 83:15
The Tempest and
the Storm
Perhaps, God favors Dodge pickup trucks,
because Moses' followers are warned not to go up a mountain "until the Ram's horn sounds a long blast." - Exodus
19:13
Dodge Ram, circa 2001
Some scholars insist
that Jesus drove a Honda, but didn't like to talk about it. As proof,
they cite a verse in St. John's Gospel where Christ tells the crowd,
"For I did not speak of my own Accord..." -
John 12:49
the totally redesigned 2001 Honda
Accord
Meanwhile, Moses rode an old British motorcycle, as
evidenced by a Bible passage declaring that "the roar of Moses' Triumph is heard in the
hills."
Triumph motorcycle
Joshua drove a Triumph
sports car with a hole in its muffler: "Joshua's Triumph was heard throughout the
land."
the adorable Triumph Sportster
And,
following the Master's lead, the Apostles car-pooled in a
Honda "The Apostles were in one Accord." !!!! -
Acts 5:12

1998 Honda Accord
Something to think
about!

In Addition:
It
seems that since a certain car company decided to make a "What Would Jesus
Drive?" promotional campaign, interest in my small little website has gone
through the ROOF!!! Many of you out there have pointed out that there are
many other references to cars in the Bible. Here are some of the good
ones:
First of all, several of you pointed
out that our Lord and Savior would have driven a "Jesus"
Chrystler
Maybe He drove a Jeep: "But
take care that this Liberty of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak." 1 Corint
8:9
Jeep Liberty (sent in by H. M.
Bumgardner Jr.)
Then again, "the
head of John the Baptist was brought to King
Herod in a CHARGER." - Mark 6:25
1966 Dodge Charger
(sent in by Dewey Thompson + Sue Lindman)
Another
"Dodge" driver is spoken of in Holy Scripture: For
John came neither eating nor drinking, and
they say, He hath a demon. - Mat
11:18
1971 Dodge
Demon (sent in by Sue
Lindman)
and my own research has uncovered that in the Old
Covenant, the Israelites were ORDERED to feast with their automobiles.
And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks
unto the LORD thy God with a tribute
- Deu 16:10
2002 Mazda Tribute
There is more to Holy Scripture than meets the
eye!
