To many the answer will be yes to others they can't imagine such a thing. The Bible is a very magical book in that within it there is to some readers contradictions, fables, history, and tales. To others there is life changing power and real meaning and the answers to any of lifes questions. What is the difference and how can one book be so many things at the same time? The Bible teaches (as Christ taught) that a Christian has the Holy Spirit of God living within his body ministering to our human spirits and a part of that ministry is to ENABLE us to understand the mysteries and the Spiritual meaning that God put into the scriptures of the Bible as we read by Faith. That understanding allows the book to answer our Spiritual questions and reveals God to us and makes it the most powerful book possible. To the unsaved, a person without the Holy Spirit's help in understanding it, the Bible is nothing but gibberish and stories, history and contradictions and is just another book that "stupid" people believe in. To them they cannot possibly see the real power and meaning in the Bible. So the answer to your question depends on if you are talking from the standpoint of a Saved person or an UnSaved person for your question could be answered Yes or No and both answers be accurate.

NO. Sorry but you cannot use that as a justification. You see, people who are stupid were already stupid BEFORE they began to read the Bible

God tells us to renew our minds by the washing in His Word. The bible cleanses our minds. Our brains get washed. The stinking thinking is gone. His Truth frees us from wrong thinking that causes bondage's.

I DON'T THINK MANY PEOPLE EVEN UNDERSTAND THE BIBLE, SOME PEOPLE FEEL SAFER IN THEIR HEART WHEN THEY BELIEVE THAT THERE IS SOMEONE WATCHING OVER US. I DON'T THINK IT MAKES PPL STUPID, I THINK IT MAKES PEOPLE CONFUSED, PEOPLE SHOULD JUST FOLLOW THEIR HEARTS,

ask Jesus into your life and be born again by the power of the Gospel (an actual real life event in your real life) if you do this in a prayer sincerely God will answer you!
