There is no “dumb stuff” in the Bible, only “dumb people” who refuse to rightly divide God’s truth so they won’t be ashamed as workmen for the Lord. Those are the people who end up in cults, believing there is more than God’s Word to mankind. They want a little more. Something extra. Something that they can touch, smell, taste, hear, or see to satisfy them.

Something that they can touch, smell, taste, hear, or see
That is why Christ came incarnate rather than in a book form.
