Ben Caplan - Truth doesnt live in a book

^N.CEverybody knows that the bible is full of wisdom ^N.CThe good book is great ^N.CBut a few thousand years of disputes and debates ^N.Chave shown that the text was written in such a way ^N.CThat it inherently requires intensive, ^N.Crigorous and constant interpretation.

^N.CDid you know that when the bible was given, ^N.Cit was delivered along with ^N.CAn oral tradition which at the time ^N.Cwas expressly forbidden ^N.Cto be written down ^N.CNow the reason why I submit must be ^N.Cis that this was to prevent undue rigidity. ^N.CYou see, the bible is a living work ^N.Cthat needs to breathe ^N.Cin order to stay alive. ^N.CNow i hope my approach won’t be seen as handfasted ^N.Cand we all know that words get distorted and twisted ^N.Cbut it is my contention that some of the best ^N.Cbits were not written down.
