Yes it does, if you are lost.
I am glad the Bible is written exactly the way it is, otherwise the perverted would know the secrets of God. I prefer the hidden things of God stay with the people of God. Where they belong. God reveals his word to whom he will and that by Revelation only. The Bible is not for the world, but for Gods people.

Sort of. I wouldn't say riddles--but I would say that the language of the Bible is difficult to understand unless one has the "key," which is faith in Christ as the Son of God.
What in particular are you asking about? That is, what "riddle" of the Bible are you trying to "solve"? I can try to help you understand. Email me what is confusing you, and I'll do my best to explain.

Colossians 2:2-3 - That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; 3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Without knowing Jesus Christ it may seem like riddles, but when you know Him, the "treasure box" will be opened!

As you study the Bible and compare one scripture with another scripture, the Bible itself will reveal the meaning of what we may see as riddles.

No it does not speak in riddles. But when reading it you must pray for God's wisdom to help you understand it and to apply it to your life. If you read it that way it is a life changing book.

Yes, to a person who is just learning their way into the scriptures. It would appear that way. But the more you get into the word, and accept it and apply it to your everyday life, it will make more and more sence to you. The ;'riddles" will fade away, when those words become opened up to you though the will of God, and your life with God through accepting of His son Jesus will blossom and you shall prosper. Prasie the Lord.

Riddles, no.
If you know and accept the Lord, it will be easier to understand.
I speak from experience.

The bible is a book written by sexist, fearful, men. Nothing more. Maybe at one point it was the word of God, but has since then been interpreted again and again and re-written to agree with those interpretations.

You see it don't you?
The Bible is written in a very special way.
If you don't have the teacher, it will remain a riddle.
You need the teacher to help you understand.
John 14:26 "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.

A riddle, yes, wrapped in a paradox immersed in a crock.
