I'm a lover of books. Cuz my imagination doesn't seem to be that creative I get most of my perchance topic derailing wild and "out there" ideas from them. So I'm prolly the last person to talk.

My question in this thread is: Did God intend for man to live by a book?

In the Bible -- hereafter referred to as The Book -- He didn't give one to Adam and Eve, to Noah, or to Abraham. Moreover, the major actors in The Book, like Moses and King David, weren't living by a book.

Plus, in the New Testament of "The Book" the human Jesus didn't leave us a book, written in his own hand. If we were meant to live by a book wouldn't Jesus have written us one?

In fact, if there's such a thing written of in The Book, as, "the tree of the knowledge of good and evil," The Book would fit the bill.

I know some will be offended by just the suggestion of not living by The Book. Some will considerate it blasphemy in fact ... to suggest otherwise.

They couldn't imagine living like Adam and Eve, and Abraham, without The Book.

What would life be like, what would the world be like, if we didn't live by The Book?
