the tricky part of the Bible is when people try to interpret what it says. it's pretty simple to me the bible is the holy word of God and it says exactly what he wants it to say

The tricky, hard to understand parts of the bible, you say? Yes, that would be the parts that have writing on them. Definitely! I would stick with the blank pages and pictures, unless, of course you enjoy constantly saying to your self "but, if that's true, then why did they just say the opposite of this three pages ago?".

Peace!
I would say the Old Testament. There are many things there which may be hard to accept like slavery, incest, human sacrifice, etc.
If you read the Bible critically or literally you will probably stop reading it after the first chapter of the book of Genesis. The important thing is God's revelation to you. So it should be read on the same level as it was written - spiritual.
God bless

Your question is too broad. If you have a particular question, or a particular understanding we probably could study which texts "seem" to support or not support a particular worldview. The tricky part is whatever part someone is taking out of context to support their pet idea. That could be any verse!

I like the statement made by Mark Twain:
"Its not the parts of the Bible that I don't understand that worry me, it's the parts I do understand".

How about psalms 137:9? That one could be pretty tricky.

Any part you don't understand can be tricky.
