knows that the bible is full of wisdom\r\nN.C\r\nThe good book is great\r\nN.C\r\nBut a few thousand years of disputes and debates\r\nN.C\r\nhave shown that the text was written in such a way\r\nN.C\r\nThat it inherently requires intensive,\r\nN.C\r\nrigorous and constant interpretation.\r\n\r\nN.C\r\nDid you know that when the bible was given,\r\nN.C\r\nit was delivered along with\r\nN.C\r\nAn oral tradition which at the time\r\nN.C\r\nwas expressly forbidden\r\nN.C\r\nto be written down\r\nN.C\r\nNow the reason why I submit must be\r\nN.C\r\nis that this was to prevent undue rigidity.\r\nN.C\r\nYou see, the bible is a living work\r\nN.C\r\nthat needs to breathe\r\nN.C\r\nin order to stay alive.\r\nN.C\r\nNow i hope my approach won’t be seen as handfasted\r\nN.C\r\nand we all know that words get distorted and twisted\r\nN.C\r\nbut it is my contention that some of the best\r\nN.C\r\nbits were not written down.\r\n\r\n\r\n[Verse
