You may absolutely disagree with me, vehemently, in fact. =) Most people do! One thing that stuck from Catholic school (yeah, i went to 12 years of it! ugh!) One of the Brothers said to not read the bible literally, but figuratively. Extract the message, but don't take every word for word. I've read parts of it, I tried with the OT, got through Exodus before nearly giving up, switched to the Gospels, was a better read. Admittedly, I don't put a lot of stock in the OT. As for learning the ancient languages, that's where you have to make a decision - to be a dedicated historian, or to live life and ask for guidance. The Lord's been generous to me, and in return I go with the flow and end up put in places He sees me needed. =) |
