Question: "Recently I read a quote where a minister said he would like to go through the Bible with a blue pencil and cut out a lot of bloody massacres and a lot of smutty pieces that choir boys read up on the quiet. He said the boys read the rapes and the massacres which are supposed to have been ordered by God. What is the point in reading them? As a Sunday School teacher of intermediate boys, I too have experienced the very situation this minister describes. I cannot help but be disturbed by some of these Biblical stories and doubt their purpose and value, What is your comment on this problem?" - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
