If The Bible Is The One And Only True Word Of God, And All We Need, Then...? Why are there so a heap of books in the Vatican library on the subject, and why do theology students study from other books and writings, why not just toss out everything else and just learn all you need to recognise from the bible? The bible was written by people, attempting to interpret what they think was the word of God. |
