So you admit that even if it was a
possibility that it was passed on orally that it could have been embellished or had mistakes? That is quite the leap of faith!
So how many embellishments or mistakes would you accept and still maintain a solid belief? Better yet...um...how would you know what was embellished? Perhaps its the whole thing?
