Each one insisted that his way was the most convincing, and none of them would back down. After hours of debating, they finally agreed there was only one way to prove it once and for all. They would each venture deep into the wilderness, find a wild bear, and attempt to convert it. Whoever succeeded would be declared the winner.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\"><\/div>\n<p data-start=\"482\" data-end=\"538\">A week later, they gathered to reveal what had happened.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"540\" data-end=\"679\">The priest was the first to arrive\u2026 but the moment everyone saw him, they knew this story was about to take a completely unexpected turn.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"681\" data-end=\"864\">He limped into the meeting wrapped in bandages from head to toe. One arm was in a sling, his forehead was covered with stitches, and he looked as though he\u2019d been run over by a truck.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"866\" data-end=\"924\">The minister gasped. \u201cGood heavens! What happened to you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"926\" data-end=\"951\">The priest smiled weakly.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"953\" data-end=\"1181\">\u201cI found a huge grizzly near a stream,\u201d he said. \u201cI walked up confidently, held out my Bible, and began reading Scripture. The bear didn\u2019t seem interested. Instead, he stood up, roared, and knocked me halfway across the forest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1183\" data-end=\"1214\">The others stared in disbelief.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1216\" data-end=\"1457\">\u201cI thought it was over,\u201d the priest continued. \u201cBut I kept praying while the bear pawed at me. Then, almost miraculously, he calmed down. He sat beside me quietly while I finished reading. By the end, I truly believe his heart had softened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1459\" data-end=\"1492\">The minister nodded respectfully.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1494\" data-end=\"1514\">\u201cThat\u2019s impressive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1516\" data-end=\"1578\">A few minutes later, the minister began telling his own story.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1580\" data-end=\"1745\">\u201cI found an even bigger bear,\u201d he said proudly. \u201cInstead of reading from a book, I spoke directly from my heart. I told him about love, forgiveness, and redemption.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1747\" data-end=\"1783\">\u201cHow did that go?\u201d asked the priest.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1785\" data-end=\"1806\">\u201cAt first, not well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1808\" data-end=\"1880\">Everyone looked at the deep claw marks running down both of his sleeves.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1882\" data-end=\"2132\">\u201cHe chased me for nearly half a mile. I climbed a tree, but he climbed after me. I jumped into a river, and he followed. Finally, exhausted, I sat on a rock and simply kept talking. Something changed. He stopped growling\u2026 sat down\u2026 and listened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2134\" data-end=\"2152\">The priest smiled.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2154\" data-end=\"2177\">\u201cSo you converted him?\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2179\" data-end=\"2322\">\u201cI can\u2019t say for certain,\u201d the minister admitted. \u201cBut when I left, he gave me what looked very much like a friendly nod instead of eating me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2324\" data-end=\"2378\">The two men laughed and turned toward the empty chair.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2380\" data-end=\"2420\">\u201cWhere\u2019s the rabbi?\u201d asked the minister.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2422\" data-end=\"2474\">Just then, an ambulance pulled into the parking lot.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2476\" data-end=\"2502\">The back doors swung open.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2504\" data-end=\"2566\">Two paramedics carefully wheeled out the rabbi on a stretcher.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2568\" data-end=\"2731\">He was covered in casts from head to toe. Both legs were suspended. One eye was swollen shut. His head was wrapped like a mummy, and he could barely move a finger.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2733\" data-end=\"2769\">The priest and minister rushed over.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2771\" data-end=\"2842\">\u201cMy friend!\u201d the priest exclaimed. \u201cWhat in the world happened to you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2844\" data-end=\"2879\">The rabbi painfully opened one eye.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2881\" data-end=\"2922\">\u201cI found the biggest bear in the forest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2924\" data-end=\"2951\">The minister leaned closer.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2953\" data-end=\"2977\">\u201cDid you try preaching?\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2979\" data-end=\"2991\">\u201cOf course.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2993\" data-end=\"3018\">\u201cDid you read Scripture?\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3020\" data-end=\"3030\">\u201cI tried.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3032\" data-end=\"3058\">\u201cDid you reason with him?\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3060\" data-end=\"3068\">\u201cI did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3070\" data-end=\"3089\">The priest frowned.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3091\" data-end=\"3129\">\u201cSo\u2026 where did everything go wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3131\" data-end=\"3161\">The rabbi let out a long sigh.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3163\" data-end=\"3199\">Looking at the ceiling, he muttered,<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3201\" data-end=\"3218\">\u201cIn hindsight\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3220\" data-end=\"3277\">\u201c\u2026I probably shouldn\u2019t have started with circumcision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3279\" data-end=\"3319\">For a moment there was complete silence.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3321\" data-end=\"3340\">The priest blinked.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3342\" data-end=\"3373\">The minister covered his mouth.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3375\" data-end=\"3416\">One of the paramedics burst out laughing.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3418\" data-end=\"3467\">A second later, everyone else completely lost it.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3469\" data-end=\"3541\">Even the rabbi couldn\u2019t help smiling\u2014although it hurt too much to laugh.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3543\" data-end=\"3637\">From that day forward, none of them ever argued again about who was best at converting anyone.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3639\" data-end=\"3737\">They simply agreed that some conversations require better timing\u2026 and a much safer opening line.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A priest, a minister, and a rabbi got into a heated argument over who was truly the greatest at converting people to their faith.
