Hello King James

By Dode Sescri

Silly kids definitely ask silly questions,
"HELLO KING JAMES," is the name of the Sunday school Jimmy and I went to, as you know it children with their never ending curiosity can be very annoying sometimes especially with their nerdy questions. After all you can't blame nor punish them for their ignorance, for being unreasonable and finding difficulties understanding simple matters. Thanks to reverend Walter for his great patience with us, he tried his best to answer our inquiries in the most satisfactory way possible which many other Sunday school teachers failed to do, we asked many questions, learned many stories from the old and new testament, sang many songs, played may games, but there is a list of questions asked by my age mates which I will never forget, they shall stick to my mind, to the very last days of my life because they were either so silly, so hilarious, so thoughtful, even adults asked themselves these questions at some point in their lives I believe.

Let me tell you a story, it goes like this..."Once upon a time there lived a rat and a cat, they were very good friends, they lived happily in their wooden shack, they shared everything between themselves, when one of them got some food, he would share it with the other. One day the rat did something very bad, he annoyed the cat who then out of rage slapped him very hard, the rat was seriously injured by the blow and then died. That’s the end of my story..."Yarn spinning is a skill that is deeply ingrained in our blood, we are descended from a long line of great story tellers, there is no story we don’t know how to tell, we always find time to amaze our audiences with great tales, both the contemporary and the legends of the old...My old time friends Jiji and Kaki are the two fellows that have greatly influenced my writing and life at large, when you hear them speak you are led to think they know everything, Jiji was very good at debates, I don’t remember a single day when he lost a contest. Kaki on the other hand was a great story teller, I don’t know where he got his stories from, we simply enjoyed them, we never cared about his sources either, he had lots of them too. One thing I loved about this little fellow was that I never got bored around him. He would flood your ears with thousands of stories at a time and there is no single moment when he will tell you the same story twice. Jiji was somehow a fanatic. When there is a discussion then individuals get stuck at a point where nobody has any further information, all are ignorant, that’s when he jumps onto the dance floor, claiming he knows it all, I have never met anyone who loved arguments more than Jiji, even a simple discussion he would turn it into an argument. He had a strange way of convincing people to believe his claims, even though you had with you solid facts that proved him otherwise, you still couldn’t beat him...

Version-1-the first Jew.

Is God a Jew? There are some rabbis in my compound who say so, and they have enough proof for it, what is this proof then they gave you? asked reverend Walter, they say that Moses was a Jew and all the prophets, and so was Abraham Isaac and Jacob. And one more unshakable proof, the messiah was born to Jewish parents. The messiah once said, I and the father are one, so if he was Jewish then his father could be so. Of course not, said the Reverend, the kids now leaned forward wanting to hear more from the reverend. The father created all nations and races alike, there is no way he can belong to a particular tribe or race, but because the messiah was born by a Jewish mother doesn’t make God the Father a Jew also.

Version-2-Jews versus Christians,

Do Jews hate Christians? Well, there are some Jews I have met who don’t believe in the Messiah, they said that the Messiah never really came, that a man had come who claimed himself to be the messiah then people were angry at his blasphemies and killed him, the real messiah hasn’t really come yet, and all Christians are deceived., they say, is that true Reverend? Of course not, replied the Reverend angrily, there are those who believe while there are those who choose to remain in unbelief, don’t try to
