A young Christian seminary student was sitting on a bench reading the
book of Exodus. His professor was sitting on the other end of the bench
eating his lunch.
"Praise God! Praise God!" the student said excitedly.
"What are you praising God for?" the professor asked.
"Oh, I'm reading about how Moses led the Israelites across the Red Sea,"
the young man replied.
"Don't you know that there is a copyist error carried over into the
English text? It should read 'Reed Sea' and not 'Red Sea'. The Israelites
crossed over a sand bank with only six inches of water. There's no need to get
so excited."
"Oh," said the young man as he went back to his reading.
"Praise the Lord!" the young man exclaimed again.
"What are you praising God for this time? I thought I explained to you
that there are no miracles in that Book?"
"No miracles? Why, God drowned the entire Egyptian army in only six
inches of water! Praise the Lord!"
