Jesus taught in parables, most of the prophecies in the bible are symbolic.
the disciples asked Jesus why do you teach in parables when the crowd is near.
Luke 8:4 And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:
8:5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
8:6 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
8:7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
8:8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
8:9 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?
8:10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
so the point is How interested are you to know God,
because the top commandment is
Mark 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments [is], Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this [is] the first commandment.

God didn't make life complicated. Satan started it and Adam and Eve continued it by not respecting God's standards. They were given two simple commands and they chose to be disobedient, thus beginning mankind's steady decline into the "complicated" life we have today. God DOES provide a clear picture of what we should do. He provided us with clear guidelines on how to live life. It isn't his fault many people don't take the time to read the Bible. In fact, 2 Timothy 3:16 says: "All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work." The world would be a much different place if everyone were to pay attention to the instructions, examples and guidance that is provided in the Scriptures. For instance, if people would follow the Bible principle to live a simple life, people wouldn't be stressed out all the time trying to acquire for themselves the material possessions they think they need to be happy.

If you have read the Old Testament, the first part seems to be so easy to relate to God on a person to person basis. However, it is still not really so because He prefers to be talking only to His Prophet/s. Another thing is that it showed He was only talking to a select group of people and those were the Jews, the descendants of Adam and Eve.
The day 6th on Genesis indicates that he created other people before Adam and Eve after the beasts on the grounds, birds of the air (male and female He created them) and they were just told to go and multiply and subdue the earth.We were those people called the Gentiles (if you are not a Jew). We have our own leaders and we run the world by ourselves and our guidance was probably just believing from a supernatural being within ourselves.
Then the Jews kind of envy us, (the Gentiles) and they asked God to have their own King or Leader and with reluctance and warning in Samuel 8:7-21 ..you will find the reason if God complicated our lives or we the people made our lives more complicated.

Who says God was closer to man in the beginning? He's as close now as He ever was. He gave us His Holy Spirit so that He can be available anytime/anywhere. Yes, it does take faith and perseverance. Yes, He will test us from time to time just to see what we are made of. However, if you accept Jesus as your personal God and Saviour and live a life worthy of your calling than He will always be there for you. A lot of Christians don't know about surrendering their lives to God and praying to know what their purpose here on earth is. With some of the hardships I had to endure I don't know where I'd be right now if it weren't for my faith and for Christ's healing love. He is a God of love. He's not someone who just sits back and watches us mess up our lives and His earth. If we seek Him, He will come to us. He's as close as our next breath. A great Christian writer wrote that "Man is into microwaving, God is into marinating." Sometimes it seems like He is far off and not willing to come to our aid or answer our prayers but He alone knows the big picture and the future. His timing is always right. God NEVER lets His people down EVER. He didn't back then and He wont do it now.

Many are seeing the fallacy of God. Its a con religion can't conceal. Too much bigotry, inconsistencies in book inspired by God which should have a perfection of philosophy.
People that hold on to nonsensical beliefs are like the parent that knows there son does drugs. They are in denial because the reality is hard to face. They keep telling themselves my son is a good boy he can't do drugs. They want to believe his excuses.
Before long a lie becomes the truth. there are a lot of congruences to a religious follower in this example. My God is real my parents believed in him. God put himself in a human body so that he could be the father and son simultaneously and get tortured for our sins? we eat bread and crackers to remember this? Do you know how absurd this sounds to the most of the worlds population.
We tell ourselves we are gods "chosen" people and everyone else is wrong.
I'm atheist but have the balls enough NEVER to back down from things like this and never will!

God doesn't make life complicated, we do. The Bible is not just a bunch of papers put together. It is the Word of God. God does reveal Himself to us everyday, and He does give us a clear picture of what we are to do. Our instruction book is the Bible.

God did not make life complicated, it was man who messed things up. God is merely trying to straighten out what Adam started thousands of years ago and man continues to mess up.

I accept as true with Autumn ! yet also, they imagine that practise us 'standardized math' is what's going to coach us for the genuine international. keep attempting to study about your self as someone, and those paths turns into one component that you recognize you could attempt. Dont forget, taking one direction isn't a very last determination. there'll be a tangent off of that direction that you will be able to attempt quite. the path isn't what ought to outline you, quite try to be the only outlining and defining the path. solid success
