God

Touche'! I can not say that's wrong, but it's not the answer I was looking for.

The answer is Hiram 1 Kings 5: 8-10

8 So Hiram sent word to Solomon:
“I have received the message you sent me and will do all you want in providing the cedar and juniper logs. 9 My men will haul them down from Lebanon to the Mediterranean Sea, and I will float them as rafts by sea to the place you specify. There I will separate them and you can take them away. And you are to grant my wish by providing food for my royal household.”
10 In this way Hiram kept Solomon supplied with all the cedar and juniper logs he wanted,/

Here's an easier one. One with multiple correct answers.\

Where can we today learn God's will for our lives and know the truth in religion?

I can think of no better source than the Bible, read with the Holy Spirit's enlightenment. :nod

 

[Edward]

I have three scriptures that I will accept for this. You only need one.

 

[Potluck]

Whoever makes it sells it.
Whoever buys it doesn't want it.
Whoever uses it doesn't know it.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 - All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work./

1 Corinthians 14:37 - … the things which I write to you are the commandments of the Lord./

1 Thessalonians 2:13 - For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe./

Of course handy knew the answer, but these were the scriptures that I was looking for. Now then:

Whoever makes it sells it.
Whoever buys it doesn't want it.
Whoever uses it doesn't know it.

oh, this is a good one! I know the answer, but will bow out for this one to see if anyone else gets it. It's really sort of obvious when you think about it.

 

[Potluck]

Nice

:nod

 

[Potluck]

Could say Obamacare.

Whoever makes it sells it. (the government)
Whoever buys it doesn't want it. (the public)
Whoever uses it doesn't know it. (those subsidized)



But it isn't.

 

[handy]

Whoever makes it sells it.
Whoever buys it doesn't want it.
Whoever uses it doesn't know it.

It this a coffin or grave site?

 

[Potluck]

Very good handy!!
:nod

A Coffin

 

[handy]

Very good handy!!
:nod

A Coffin

That was a good one!

OK... this is a bit of a chestnut, but let's see who might know it:

The camper leaves camp and hikes exactly one mile south. Then turns and hikes exactly one mile east. There he sees a bear. He then runs exactly one mile north and is safe back at camp.
What color is the bear?

 

[Edward]

The bear is white. It has to be a polar Bear.

I really suck but everyone wants to buy me anyway. What am I?

 

[handy]

Correct! The bear is a polar bear.

Answer to Edward's: Vacuum cleaner?

 

[Edward]

Vacuum cleaner?

:yes

You throw away the outside and cook the inside. Then you eat the outside and throw away the inside. What did you eat?

 

[Edward]

The camper leaves camp and hikes exactly one mile south. Then turns and hikes exactly one mile east. There he sees a bear. He then runs exactly one mile north and is safe back at camp.
What color is the bear?

Explain why it has to be white and a polar bear?. It could be any bear. I don't get it.

The clue is in the directions, he's at the north pole, so the bear would be a (white) Polar Bear. He hikes south for one mile, then exactly one mile East, then runs exactly one mile north back to camp. You couldn't do this unless you were at the North pole. Anywhere else on the planet would make it further than one mile back to camp. So the Bear's white. Get it?

You throw away the outside and cook the inside. Then you eat the outside and throw away the inside. What did you eat?

Do you all need a hint for this one?

That's right, Edward. My hubby spent a few minutes arguing with me when I posted that riddle, insisting that one couldn't wind up back at the camp and then all of a sudden, boing! The light went on.

As for your latest.... I've been puzzling over this all day. I know I know the answer... I just can't seem to recall it.

I could say a chicken from the store: Throw away the wrapper, cook it, eat it, throw away the bone... but, while technically it works, that's not the answer to this particular riddle. Close... perhaps I've given a good clue. I'll be smakin' my head when someone guesses it, because I know the answer...

OH BOING!!! The light just went on as I was typing this.

Corn on the cob!!! Throw away the husk, cook and eat the kernels, throw away the cob! (Except we don't throw away the husks or cobs here on the Redtail Ranch... the cows eat 'em!)

That's exactly right. Good job!

Here's one:

The more you take away from it, the larger it becomes.

 

[Edward]

Oh, I used to dig for a living. A hole, lol. That's how I got my first plumbing job when the said they don't need any green plumbers, so I said I'm not afraid to dig, and I was on the job in less than 30 minutes with a shovel in my hand, lol.

I'm hard all around but soft in the middle. What am I?

 

[Edward]

AN egg fits the description but not the answer that I was looking for. Good guess!
