Andrew, you wrote a letter claiming that “The Bible, God’s word, is not some trend like Vans slip-ons; it is immutable.” If that is unfailingly true, I hope you intend to follow all of the rules. I believe there are quite a few (more than just 10 commandments), and you may find some of them more difficult to follow.
Given your vast knowledge of the Bible, I’m sure you know what I mean. This one should be easy, at least: “Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard” (Leviticus 19:27, KJV).There’s a book called “A Year of Living Biblically” by A.J. Jacobs that I’d recommend, but you probably already stopped reading what I have to say.
