Even my dad is a pastor and he's still continously looking for more meanings in the Bible. Trust me it's not some easy thing to go breezy by.
O my bro, my friend, i totally agree. Reading the bible front to back is not engough. Im reading the chronolgical bible right now, and i can see myself reading it over and over. I cant wait to start it over cause i know ill catch things i missed before. But one thing ive learned is to never simple pluck out verses from the bible without knowing the story there sown into. The bible is not to be veiwed as verses, it is a story meant to be read cover to cover. My freind Kevin Myers told me this story:

"An old grandmother was pulled over for speeding. When the officer asked the lady to roll her window down he noticed there was a Dust Buster vacuum cleaner humming away on the dash. When asking the old grandmother why she had a vacuum cleaner on her dash she replied to the officer,"my grandchildren told me if put one in my car, i wouldnt get pulled over by the cops. Later that day the officer is informed that the ladys grandchildren had told her that if she placed a "fuzz buster" on her dash, she would avoid the cops."

How many people are living with "dust busters" on there spritual dashboards? By simply plucking fragments from the story, its a sooo easy to mis interpret the meaning of the bible.
