Intro
N.A#
Everybody knows that the bible is full of wisdom
N.A#
The good book is great
N.A#
But a few thousand years of disputes and debates
N.A#
have shown that the text was written in such a way
N.A#
That it inherently requires intensive,
N.A#
rigorous and constant interpretation.
N.A#
Did you know that when the bible was given,
N.A#
it was delivered along with
N.A#
An oral tradition which at the time
N.A#
was expressly forbidden
N.A#
to be written down
N.A#
Now the reason why I submit must be
N.A#
is that this was to prevent undue rigidity.
N.A#
You see, the bible is a living work
N.A#
that needs to breathe
N.A#
in order to stay alive.
N.A#
Now i hope my approach won’t be seen as handfasted
N.A#
and we all know that words get distorted and twisted
N.A#
but it is my contention that some of the best
N.A#
bits were not written down.
