All that Man Touches is Corrupt!

[jfrog]

Any book that people put as much time and effort into reading and understanding in new and deeper ways would lead to more disunity than the bible...

In high school the teachers tell you what stories mean. In college they give you options. Each option often has merits and there is none that are right or wrong. (Well the professors favored option is always most right...)

The point is that real literature tells a story and it doesn't give us all the details. We have to fill in some details with our imaginations. Inevitably the way we fill in those details can oftentimes drastically change the entire meaning of a story.

The bible is not a technical work that seeks to define and describe every detail, at least I can no longer view it that way. Its more like a work of literature. It leaves each of us room to read the story and use our imagination to fill in the details.
