I could sit at this keyboard for days on end debating
individual biblical verses with you, but unless you take that first step you still won't see the overall picture — and yes, there is one, even bigger and more wonderful than the one you currently cling to.
In fact, for fundamentalists the
biblical book qua book does not really exist; rather, the Bible is an unsystematic anthology of
individual verses or short passages that are unrelated to their Contexts and to the larger works in which they are embedded.
