Repository of all knowledge

Some people say, “Everything I need to know I can get from the Bible.” This is just as foolish as saying, “Everything I need to know I learned in kindergarten.” It sounds good when you first hear it. And it makes a catchy title for a book. But as anything more than intentional hyperbole, it is utter nonsense.

There has been a fair amount of nonsense uttered in the name of defending the truth of the Bible as well. It’s time for us to leave “kindergarten” and develop an adult understanding of God’s Word (Hebrews 6:1–2).
