I mean, pple get lots of different explanations 4rm d same bible. like in 3000AD pple were killing Christ haters, but the same Book's theme is love and salvation for all mankind.
people confuse it 4 a religion, equating it to other kinds of religion.
pple claim that God made them gays, but the Bible says he made them "male and female"...
the Book was written by God through men, but some pple on yahoo answers say its "men of ancient times that worte it. it dont apply here/now", but Bible says God's Spirit inspired holy men of long ago to write it.

There is some evidence that there are hidden messages within the bible. Primarily, however, we should always take the attitude that what the bible says plainly, is truth.
Those who study it daily, find they agree more with others who study it daily, also. It is the casual reader who finds a novel interpretation and doesn't evaluate it in light of other scripture, considered proper hermeneutics, that there is a problem.

Good point. The Bible clearly states that until you allow the Holy Spirit to lead you, you can not understand the Bible.
The beauty of the Scriptures is that you can read one scripture at one point in your life and later on read that same scripture and glean something totally different from it. The Scripture is still the same, you are different and your circumstances are different. You have grown and matured and are able to gain more understanding. Just like in school where you are not capable of multiplication until you learn to count, you can't know all there is to know in the scriptures unless you take it one day at a time.

First off, you must have a teachable spirit to begin to understand the word of GOD. You have not because you ask not. You of little faith have most likely been left out of the room and I do not have the authority to open a door to understanding that only GOD has the keys to. so I guess you are left behind.

The bible is not 'code'. It is the Word of God. We are asked to have 'child-like faith', not Nazi-like de-encryption skills. Don't go by what the world says. The world will die and suffer and is trying to pull you down with it.

Satan knows that human beings don't like being told what they do is wrong. So with his help they rewrite, add to and put their own spin on the teachings of Christ until it is so complicated that no one will actually read it for themselves, but instead will just listen and do what they are told. Isn't that positively diabolical?

One of the reasons man finds it hard to understand the Bible, is man is on one level (i.e. 1 witness) and Jesus was telling stuff in '2 or more witnesses' (Matt. 18:16) level.

Look at it as a passage of poetry. No two people will get it quite the same although the message does not change.

The main reason ppl don't understand the Bible is because they don't obey it. The fear of the Lord is the BEGINNING of wisdom. thus saitheth the Lord.

"Just because people don't understand you when you speak, doesn't necessarily mean that what you're saying is deep".
The Bible is babble. It always has been babble. Any book that give man another reason to hate is babble.
