I see people talking about the bible, not understanding one thing. I heard how the bible contradicts itself. How it does not make any sense. The bible by itself is not supposed to make sense to anyone. By itself it is a book of letters from men spanning two thousand years. When Jesus spoke to the people, He did so in parables. When He spoke to the apostles, He explained the Word of God. He wanted them to understand what was really going on. He spoke in parables so the people could not understand without God. Mt 13:15 “For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.” Unless God gives you understanding, you have nothing. Unless God gives you, you have nothing. Ro 2:4 “Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?” And that is the point, unless God gives you, you have nothing.
