papabear,thank you,I've studied siddha yoga and the teaching seems to be the same except the bible is ambiguous now I know for sure,20,000 translation errors plus,veiled scriptures equal a lot of misunderstanding,even wars.

The Bible is clear, but first you need to study a translation, not a version, which usually has around 20,000 translation errors.

No, I do not find the Bible ambiguous.
But, I do find that some who talk about the Bible to be ambiguous in what they say. This makes it very confusing to some who are trying to really read the Bible and understand it, and why many people have written the Bible off as nonsense. Is it the Bible or what some teach that it says that is nonsense?
If one would read the Bible for itself and not try to make it fit what they have been taught what it says, to read the Bible from cover to cover, without thinking about what some people say it says, then one might really get a different view than what most who profess to believe it claim what it says.

the truth of any spiritual teaching is not in the text, but in the understanding that is carried with the text, beyond the words.
for some people the understanding behind the words that they need, from one religion or spiritual system or the other.
the problem is when people don't recognize how much different it can appear for each person.
if you can attach metaphysical allusions in a spiritual writing to personal experience, it is phenomenally different than having to take those things on faith.

Yes the bible is messed up. Unfortuantly people just can't be trusted with translations. I mean ok, my words carry power and can cause blindness etc etc. but you'd think they could have got the simply stuff right. But never mind, at least you have found your own way to clairty and that is all I can ask of anyone. God loves you.

The Bible does not answer every single question that man has in the world
But it does hold enough information in it for your Salvation
kind of like a car book to fix your car
the Bible is a Soul book to fix your Soul

You're not reading it correctly, or you have a faulty modern translation.

More like vague and contradictory when it is not vague...
