Humour that's of "biblical" proportions

Today being Sunday, here are some "biblical" jokes:

A new pastor was visiting the homes of his parishioners. At one house
it seemed obvious that someone was at home, but no answer came to his
repeated knocks at the door.

He then took out a card and wrote "Revelation 3:20" on the back of
it and stuck it in the door. When the offering was processed the following
Sunday, he found that his card had been returned. Added to it was this
cryptic message, "Genesis 3:10."

Reaching for his Bible to check out the cited verse, he broke up in laughter.

Revelation 3:20 begins "Behold, I stand at the door and knock."
Genesis 3:10 reads, "I heard your voice in the garden and I was afraid for
I was naked."
