Answer 1

If you read the Bible without any guidance, of course you will be confused. Have you ever tried to read a book of Medicine, Astronomy, Physics, or DNA without guidance ?
Just do it and try to understand it

Answer 2

You and I are only traveling between the two eternities, friend.

Suppose you are on a road and you cannot ever turn around and never return from whence you came. You come to a fork in that road and you must go forward and thus you must choose one of the roads. Suppose you see other people and you ask them which road you should take. Now suppose that you get different advice, that they have "heard" from others that the left fork holds dangers and that there is a very high priced toll booth, but "nobody" knows anything about the right fork or "heard rumors also, good or bad", and they are taking the right fork.
These are just rumors, right?
Who would you believe? Which road will you take?
Will you take the road that is rumored to be dangerous? Or the road, about which, no one knows much?

Answer 3

Have you ever read the Bible? I'm asking seriously, because so many people who are contemptuous of the Bible have never read it and have no idea what's in it. They are just blindly following the attitudes they have blindly picked up from others.

Answer 4

Actually those who do not follow the Bible, or God's Word are the blinded ones. Christians are the ones that can see.

Answer 5

The nonsense in the Bible is like life if your just being inquisitive then start in the New Testament, take what you can understand and if you will build from there. The rest of us well we call it faith. Its accepting what we have no proof of. That's why they call it faith. I know it sounds pretty rudimentary

Answer 6

In my experience, the claimed contradictions are because of linguistic or cultural misunderstandings.

Can we believe the Bible? See http://www.godsci.org/gs/chri/bible.htm

I used to be an atheist. Over a period of time however, I grew convinced of the existence of the Christian God, and ultimately committed my life to Christ (e.g., see http://www.godsci.org/gs/chri/testimony/seek.html ).

For scientific and intellectual evidence for the existence of God, see http://www.godsci.org/gs/godsci/evidence.htm

Cordially,
John

Answer 7

I guess they call it FAITH
I was raised as a Catholic(since I am Italian)but started to be against it since I was 14....the problem is I like to wonder and ask myself and this doesn't match with Catholicism which means: Faith
Believe in what you can't see
So anything is possible basically isn't it?But they pretend that actually God wrote it...and they think God exists...

Answer 8

Speaking of contradictions, how can you call yourself "Free Thought" and call something many people believe in "nonsense"?

Answer 9

the God say:
The Jews say: "The Christians have naught (to stand) upon"; and the Christians say: "The Jews have naught (to stand) upon." Yet they (profess to) study the (same) Book. Like unto their word is what those say who know not; but Allah will judge between them in their quarrel on the Day of Judgment.

Answer 10

Have you read it? I used to believe like you, then I started speaking to God about it. Praying things like, "God, if you're real, then be real to me," and "God, What does this mean?" When you open your mind and your heart and consider the possibilities of the inifinite, then God will reveal himself to you.
