Can You Read Without Analyzing?
Thought of the Day:
“The Bible is a book that has been read more and examined less than any book that ever existed.”
Thomas Paine
Thinking Outside of the Box:
I dont know that I would agree with Thomas Paine on this one. I also wonder if he would say it today, in this new millennium rather than during his 19thcentury. I think that the Bible has been examined more and read less. We analyze, we study, and we arrive at these wonderful conclusions, but who actually reads the Bible anymore? The Bible is supposed to be the Word of God written for humanity to read. There are messages, words of wisdom, guidance, and a story about something God wants us to know. We analyze it, but do we read it? Its Sunday. Take your Bible out and read a little. Dont try to dissect it or develop a new theological theory – just for today, read a little bit of it.
A Last Thought:
“It is not at all incredible, that a book which has been so long in the possession of mankind should contain many truths as yet undiscovered.”
Bishop Butler
