Maybe the reason everyone gets something different when they read the bible is because it was written for somany different minds, we all undersatand at a different capacity, could the bible be written to handle all of us at once?

I was given the ability to read and compreheand, reason out thought and form opinion, so why when I read a verse or chapter from the bible I might get something different than someone else but we both receive a blessing from it?

What parts are you referring to that are "vague"? I think most of it is pretty straight forward. Yes, Jesus did speak in parables often, but they are explained there in the Bible to us.
I think most people that say the Bible " is full of fairy tales " etc. have never actually read it or the Word of Jesus.

The Bible has been translated/transliterated from Greek, Aramaic, Hebrew and is 2000 years old. So, there are going to be some problems if someone today picked it up and just began reading without a Strongs Concordance to help. Also, you need to know some history. For example: women in Jesus's time were horribly treated and for a man who was a stranger to speak to them the way he did was unheard of, showing he didn't go along with the cultural traditions.
We, as readers of the Bible, need to do our homework. We must take Bible Study classes, read up on how to better understand translations, use a Strongs and listen carefully at church when (hopefully) our Bible-believieng pastor preaches from the Bible.

sure. It substitute into written by applying objective so as that people who do no longer seek the righteousness of God and Christ, yet their own and their own fact, could be veiled by applying devil's lies and defective teachings. purely severe learn and meditation and the Paraclete's help will show the certainty over years of learn. some areas are extremely understood by applying all righteous ones who extremely seek for God's fact; different areas will take some years, even an prolonged time. The Bible is written in techniques that enable the believer to continually locate new tidbits. Even after greater suitable than 40 years of extreme learn, I nonetheless locate new issues. One such in basic terms got here upon some weeks in the past is what the sign of Christ interior the heavens would be after the super Tribulation.

The bible is very specific and true, some people read a translation they do not understand and come up with something different then whats meant. But I agree with your theory... It's hard to know for sure.
and to "J T" I'm sorry you feel that way. Those things you call "Fairy tales" are what I've based my salvation on, and I wouldn't trade them for the world!

yes! When you are saved, you are a new creation, and you are blessed with the Holy Spirit. When you have the Holy Spirit you are able to understand the bible and what is means. I still have a problem understanding what Revelation means, but Daniel is alot easier to understand!

The bible is a book of mythology. It isn't vague at all. It's a collection of fairy tales.
