Spooky Definitions – 1

October is here. Time for the spooky posts. I love witches and goblins and ghosts and black cats. But what could be more spookier than the Heavenly Spooks? Every Sunday for years and years I heard about the Heavenly Spooks. So this October I will share with you poems and songs about them. And maybe repost some Halloween stuff too.

Years and years ago I ran across a site that had A Theological Dictionary with definitions composed in the early 20th century by Grace Verne Silver. I laughed and laughed. I will share a few of her definitions. I added the graphics.

ANGEL

A Celestial Flapper

ARK of the COVENANT

A wooden box in which god was kept while his sheepherders were wandering in the wilderness. Sometimes called God-in-the-Box.

ASS

Favorite means of locomotion of Jesus. He once rode into Jerusalem sitting on two of them which his disciples had previously stolen for him.

ATONEMENT

A curious example of god’s justice by which he caused his son to be murdered in order to save the world from Satan. It was too big a job for god’s son so the Holy Rollers are now tackling it.
