God's a big picture guy. He doesn't have time to mess with things like editing. He also has a very large captive audience who have to buy into everything he says anyway or they go to hell. Forever.

Poorly?? as in grammatically, or what???
Read the King James, probably the most eloquent document on earth.
What do you mean?? The Bible was written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Koine Greek. Only very serious Bible students can work in all those old languages. All the Bible versions and translations you see today were made to get the Bible in a language the common person can read. What is wrong with that?

ok, I in basic terms at present made the transition from being athiest to now Christian. yet I even have some deep roots in technological information having a grasp's degree in metrology that's rather lots physics. I also have a bachelor's degree in historical history of the Levant (Mesopotamia) i'm able to predate each and all the Biblical observations with the Epic of Gilgamesh the Assyrian Kings lists that predate te earliest areas of the Bible with the aid of one thousand to 3000 years. particularly, in basic terms an fool could believe the earth flat. everyone that would understand the thought of the wheel could come across the earth a sphere revolving and rotating around the sunlight. however the Bible strikes out on many medical ideas too. for the period of the sixteenth Century many experts sought to be sure the Bible with the hot emergence of technological information. that keeps to be ongoing. i'm in pursuit of that for the period of basic terms for myself. a brilliant situation I even have is the Flood. If it befell as suggested as a international flood masking the mountains it may require three times each and all the water on and interior the earth and interior the ambience. I also have a situation with "What befell to all that water?" I contend flooding the earth substitute into interior of reach and coated the mountains in possibly the Black Sea or Bosphorous area. that would artwork to examine technological information. Interchanging that the international substitute into in certainty the area the inhabitants traveled lived and could see. I do have a situation with some Christians that on one hand choose to disprove technological information mutually with carbon relationship, yet with ease will use the areas of technological information that help the Bible (like DNA) I in basic terms experience some take the Bible a sprint too literal or omit that some would be parabales or perhaps organic delusion to purpose to describe issues to the human beings residing 2000-3000 years in the past while technological information in basic terms did not exist.

Don't blame God for the mess called the bible.
The four gospels were not written by the apostles.
They were written close to the end of the first century long after the apostles were dead and gone. The john who wrote revelations was not the apostle john. He was a poor man kept in prison so long that he simply lost his mind and started to imagine a vengeful God who would punish his captors and anyone like them.
The bible was created 2 centurys later by the roman empire to change the message of Jesus to something that the Romans found more acceptable.
This is why it is often difficult to understand. The message of Jesus on the other hand is elegant and simple to understand. You need to separate the message that Jesus left for us from all of the nonsense that the Romans overlaid it with and it will start to become quite easy to understand.
Don't take my word for any of this. Study biblical history for your self and draw your own conclusions. There are many good books on this subject by some intelligent and thoughtful people. Take advantage of their efforts.
Email if you are interested and I will send so suggested reading material.
Love and blessings.

Its a translation of a translation of a translation, thats why. It gets watered down every time it gets translated so the meaning and purpose becomes more and more ambiguous. Not only that, a lot of people have tried to desseminate it over the centuries and that division also causes discrepancies. I still found it to be a good read, you just have to know the language and the time it was written for.

i know that everybody is entitled to their own opinion...
but unless you are a professional book critic, many people will view your opinion as trivial.
1 thing i know though, if there is a top selling book list for all time... (& you probably know the answer already)... on the top of that list would be the Bible (even if as you've said it is so poorly written)

Why do you think so? Why dont you explain your statement first? Anyways, maybe because there was no MS-Word those days to do the spell check, it could have been poorly written.

The Bible is extremely well written....it is the translations that have the problems.

Have you thought about you being a poor reader! Isn't that more valid?
Seek wisdom, and you will find it in the Bible!
