\u201cA lot of verbage gets thrown around about the Bible (its perfection, its authority, its goodness) that makes sense only if you don\u2019t read it\u2013or read it seriously. I\u2019m a firm believer that you shouldn\u2019t say something about the Bible that isn\u2019t true about all of it. If you\u2019re going to talk about the Bible as the only rule of faith and practice, then you should be prepared to explain why you don\u2019t live your life by all of it.\nI spend my energies trying to get people to spend less time spouting claims about the Bible and more time actually reading it, being honest about it, and valuing it for what it actually is.\u201d<\/p><\/span><\/div>\n
