DO NOT READ anything into the Good Book, if you wish to get anything out of it -- just take it straight...
Instead of trying to alter your Bible to fit you, change yourself to fit it; otherwise you will have religion's conformity in reverse. What you think of the Bible does not affect it -- just you. If it appears too deep, you surely need the exercise it affords to think deeper. If it looks too exacting, you definitely require its influence to keep from straying. And if it seems dry, it might be that you have allowed too much dust to accumulate on it (Leroy Brownlow).
KneEmail: "You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you" (Deut. 4:2).
