But it does.You only have to read it and take in the correct context and ignore the inconcistencies and forget about the hypocrisy and don't worry about the parts that apparently are no longer relevant.
See,it's easy

Good question, but what would be the point? God allows us to choose Him or choose the world; either way everyone has to make the choice. It is the Holy Spirit that reveals truth and that can only come through faith and belief in Him.

Well, it is given to all of us as truth, but without Holy Spirit it is kind of hard to understand. I have read the Bible of and on for ears, it made a huge difference to me when I asked Holy Spirit to come to guide me. The Scripture verses never sound the same again. It is hard to explain. I might never have clarity, but I can have trust. I do not know everything, but I place my faith and trust in Him who knows everything.
Now I have this understanding. I have read certain places many time but then suddenly something makes sense totally different way. I feel that God is communicating with me. When I study the Bible with open heart, God gives me the answers when I need them. Sometimes I have to wait answers longer than I want to. When God puts us to His waiting room, He stays there right with us.
It s His promise that everyone who will seek Him with sincere heart, will find Him. And He is in promise keeping business. : )

"And this is the judgment, that light is come into the world, yet men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed." (John 3:19,20)
"The mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so." (Romans 8:7)
"And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, in whose case the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." (II Corinthians 4:3,4)
Men are rebellious; slaves of sin and by nature hostile to God and His truth as disclosed in the Bible. It is not an intellectual problem, but a moral one.
Only by the influence and revelation that comes from the Spirit of God can they be rescued from their blindness.

Because God gave everyone free will. And that includes the freedom to decide whether or not to accept the Bible as truth.

It will if you read it and let the Holy Spirit reveal to you what it wants to reveal to you. Just make sure to read a word for word translation King James or New American Standard

The Bible is a complicated book, and it takes a few years of study, with knowledge of history, and right point of view, before things start to come together.

Again, it has to do with faith. Faith is the power that removes the veil off the spiritual eyes of our understanding and opens up the heart to receive God's truth.

Free will. Remember a Christian believe that God was physically present with Adam and Eve and they still blew it.

God is within each of us and not in the Bible or any religion.
So it´s not the end-all
