One...I’m delighted that you’ve begun a Bible study! One of my New Year’s resolutions was to read the entire thing (minus apocrypha) this year, so I know exactly what’s in it, cover to cover. I’m up to Numbers, and let me just say HOLY SHIT! This book is CrAzY. It’s so crazy, I have trouble understanding why it’s the basis for ANY religion, but it’s fascinating nevertheless. <br /><br />The god of the first four books (the ones I’ve read so far) is an ass. Basically, his methodology seems to be "worship me or I’ll smite you -- you’ll have no descendents and all your crops will fail." Everyone who sucks up gets rewarded, and for everyone else, smiting ensues. And then there’s god’s micromanaging, power-tripping construction directions in Leviticus. Want to build a lamp stand? A tent? A box? Make sure you measure verrrrry carefully.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01879666648303916578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647562459433740241.post-31622947176827394312010-01-27T10:48:03.865-05:002010-01-27T10:48:03.865-05:00Looks like your Bible study is off to a rip roarin...Looks like your Bible study is off to a rip roaring start David.
