Dr Laura (whom is wrong as often as she is right imo) said once that Jews were denied complete access to the Torah until recently (?) and that the teachings therein were instead interpreted by a Rabbi and then passed along to others.

She prefaced all this with "Have you been taught true Torah?" and went on to criticize the practice of just allowing the masses unfettered access to this text, because it will invariably be twisted and misinterpreted.. Both accidentally and intentionally.

I wonder if all this "diversity" is Laura being right, or if it began way before this and is corruption of the text by the Rabbi themselves..

The Bible is mostly useful against paganism in its advocacy of analytical look at actions, consequences, repent and ritual that reminds of a past that needs to be discussed analyticaly.

Those who use the Bible wrongly are those false prophets who dump the analytical stuff for policies that they pretend will bring salvation. But this is akin to leftist progressism and contrary to progress. Even Jesus told us not to worry about the future while Moses warned us against fortune tellers.

Indeed salvation and progress is only attainable through analytical look at the situation using available data and information. This is equivalent to repent.
