I heard one time the Bible being compared to a pool of water. A pool that
in some
parts is so shallow that a child can go wading, but a pool also that is so
deep in
other places that an elephant can go swimming there. Well, the Bible is a

book that contains passages which in some cases are very deep and

Bible
