Top 10 awkward Bible stories
Posted by staff / February 28, 2010The Bible isn’t the world’s best-selling book for no reason. It really has it all! Happiness, good and evil, history, the apocalypse, and most importantly—the fibre of human nature: awkwardness. Check out TopTenz’s hilarious list of cinge-worthy biblical moments.
Jesus outs his own betrayer (John 13)
Traitors generally prefer to remain anonymous, at least until they fulfill their objective. However, if the person you want to betray happens to be the Messiah, you might find this dificult. Judas, known for accepting payment to lead Jesus into enemy hands, must’ve been embarrassed when his plot was brought up as dinner conversation by Jesus himself.
“Want to know who’s going to betray me? Okay, I’ll give the guilty party this piece of bread,” Jesus said. “Here, Judas – have a piece of bread.” The disciples look on as Judas slinks away from the table. Yeah, getting the stink eye from Jesus is about as awkward as it gets.
Noah gets naked (Genesis 9)
The man survives a global flood, his life is nearly destroyed, and not to put too much pressure on him or anything—but it’s up to him and his immediate family to repopulate the earth. Since this isn’t exactly a suitable family night activity, Noah, instead, plants a vineyard, brews some wine, gets sloshed, and then passes out naked in his tent. What’s worse is that his son, Ham, walked in on him passed out sans clothing. Yeah, must’ve been an awkward breakfast conversation that morning.

The Bible is R-rated, because it tells the truth about life, and adults live R-rated lives.
