Why Study the Bible?, page-30

I suppose the bible is a book for all tastes

• A God who is slow/quick to anger
• A God of love and peace/a God of war
• A God of reconciliation/ a God of division
• A God who chooses everyone/ A God who chooses a select few
• And so on.

Some claim to understand the God of the bible - and then the fighting begins.

Bible Study Group.

• A group seeking the meaning of the bible (a dying option, if not already dead)
• A group seeking to reaffirm their own beliefs
• A group intending to convince others of their beliefs and to recruit new members to their group

- and now the fighting continues.....
- and no one is any the wiser
