Imagine you are selecting your food from a cafeteria line. You pick your salad, you choose your entrée, but when you get to the vegetables, you see a pan of something that turns your stomach. “Yuck! What’s that?” you ask, pointing. “Oh, you don’t want to know,” replies a slightly embarrassed server. “Yes, I do.” “Well, if you must. It’s a pan of pre-chewed food.” “What?” “Pre-chewed food. Some people prefer to swallow what others have chewed.” Repulsive? You bet. But widespread. More so than you might imagine. Not with cafeteria food, but with God’s Word.
