What I meant was why does the Bible cause more confusion amongst people than any other book ?
Either it's simply a collection of human knowledge/beleif, or everybody is too stupid to come to an agreement on it...
Either way, the Bible is the cause of much confusion....therefore, God is the author of much confusion.
Originally posted by Goddess KaliBecause the Bible is taken as the beginning and end of all communication with man by God. This stance denies further instruction on the matters addressed therein, it leaves the text to interpretation rather than statement from God. If the "Bible" were to be held as the sole statement from God, why were the first few thousand years of it a verbal tradition until Moses? Why was it not just handed to Adam and not communicated over several thousand years? What purpose was there for the events ever? Couldn't it just be handed to us and then taken on faith? It was communicated as it was because God speaks to man, and will continually do so as man requests such communication.

Originally posted by Goddess KaliGod didn't directly speak to the majority of people. It's probably because if he did there would a few million differing statements on what he said, you ever try to tell five people something and have them all take it the same way?

I'm just wondering, if anyone preferably a christian could give me their view on is christianity true because i'd like to believe it but struggle with it. I'd like to see without any insults or mockery why ppl believe what they believe.
