Understanding Bible contents requires a lot of study.
Even a lot of Christians don't get it. Too many of them seem to think that calling out words is the same as READING. Too many of them have surrendered their minds to others.

Priests are faliable human beings---even the Pope is not perfect and NOT a God. I haven't talked to a priest in my life that sounded as if he was at all happy to be a priest. In fact, every one of them cussed, smoked, drank liquor, and had absolutely nothing uplifting to say---outside of the script that is written for the mass.
The rare proof----Ask the priest after he reads the gospel why he says, "And this is the Word of the Lord," and all the people have to respond, "Praise be to you, Lord Jesus Christ." If the Bible is not the Word of God, then why would a priest tell the congregation that it is?
The Bible is the Word of God. Yes, it is. The proof? If non-believers can pick out so many things wrong with a book, then why has it been leading people's lives for over 2000 years?

Yes. The Bible really does contain the Word of God...
No. It's not an attempt by priests to get money. That happens in the Catholic church... but it is not Biblical.
The Bible is so wonderfully written that it is impossible that it be the work of any scheming people.
It was written by men... but
was written over 1500 years, on 3 different continents, by over 40 different people (kings, servants, doctors, historians, military generals, shepherds, secretaries)... and contains a level of continuity, wisdom that, compared to any other book in history... is not comparible in any way shape or form. It's not fully perfect, because there are several errors that have entered the text over the years... but those are simple spelling errors and things like that that don't change the meaning.
Research it!
It's awesome!

The Bible is God's Word. Look at the over 300 prophecies fulfilled by God who was Jesus. This is God powerfully showing you that He acts to bring His Word's to pass, that He is real and His Word is the Word of God. The Bible is the only Truth and this makes it the rare Truth in a world of false information.

The Holy Bible says that everyone has a chance to accept Christ into their lives. YOu have that choice, what you do with it is up to you, so yeah, we do have the free will to accept or decline.
If you are a Christian, which I think I can safely deduce you are not, you would know that you have God in your life by means of an inner peace which only God can afford you. I've been through lots of miseries these last 2 years, and I only pulled through because I know i'm a gem being chiselled into shape by God's love for me, God never tests one beyond your strength, so yea, i always feel blessed, sometimes things happen to me in such a miraculous way which goes beyond that of mere chance, and those are small ways in which I know God proves to me that He is there. When I pray, as we as Christians are asked to do, we ask for the prayer to be granted in Jesus' name and that is how the prayer is granted, that moment we ask it in Jesus' name. Then we have to believe and start thanking God for what it is we now know we're going to receive, also, we ony ever receive things which are within the will of God. as the saying goes, Rome wasnt built in a day, so, being a Christian and becoming one, is a path one takes in order to reach a destination. You too can share in this experience, if your heart is fertile grounds for the seeds of God's love. The 'damn priests' you refer to, are they Christian priests? Well, just like any worker, everyone needs money and provision to survive. How do you think they pay the electricity bills in church if the congregation doesnt offer donations? would you like to sit on the ground of some large inhospitable plot when you go to church? if you or a relative are ill in hospital, you EXPECT the priest to climb in his car to come out and say a prayer...how do you think he'd be available if he held down another full time job in order to have money to serve your needs? dont be foolish, think before you speak and maybe, on a prayer, an answer might just come to you.

The Bible was written by human beings (men in general) and no matter how far back in time this was people still lie. I am not saying that everything in the Bible is a lie (either a man really did walk on water or 2 guys got high off of some type of grass and thought they saw a man walking on water). You don't really know if it is true or not. That is why when you believe things like that it is called a leap of faith.

I believe that yes, the Bible is God's word. Most Christians do not understand the Bible's words, but that is because they have yet to actually hear God in their heart. Once they hear God they can understand his words. Sorry to have gone all holy on you there but, yeah, I believe God is the only way to Heaven. And if you disagree with me (ive seen some nasty fights break out about religion) I'm sorry that I am entitled to my own opinion, so sue me.

Bible words are good. It does not make a difference whether it is God's words or some one else's.
However its unethical to earn money by explaining Bible. Even bible never recommended it.

The Bilbe truly is the word of God. It was written of men who were inspired of God. (God showed them what to write - sort of like having a vison)
And God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit are one.
We call this the Trinity. Even if the word "Trinity" isn't in the Bible - the word "Bilbe" isn't in the Bible either.
