Didn't God look far enough into the future to see how many different interpretations would result from his book?
He couldn't have written a book more clearly such that anyone who chose to be christian would believe the truth and not someone's imagination?
God knowingly sewed the seeds of confusion in what is now his church by not writing a book that makes abundantly clear his will such that no one could misinterpret it?

I think the Bible is on the whole clear and easy to understand its meaning without interpretation. Where needed, interpretation is generally not too difficult.

Everything gets challenged now and again. A better challenge would be- Why do you insist on using 2 accounts to slam,bash, and malign the Bible and Our Lord. Yeah you, may, have lost a son. So either work out your anger that you are having toward God or move on.

God tried to cover every imaginable challenge in His Word, but the truth is for the believer only. God warned us about the devil in the church and even promised that His Judgment would begin at the house of God. By way of the Holy Spirit we are to discern the spirits whether they be of God or the devil.

wow i have a pretty good answer for u actually..my answer is from a similar question that was proposed, so some of it might not make sense:
OMG..don't you all see that having so many different versions of the Bible indicates a corrupt religion? Many authors, editors, revisors, etc. of the Bible only changed/deleted/added verses to appeal to Christians so they would remain faithful (in other words through lies) and to appeal to people who are interested in converting (the same way). Converting through lies and putting in what people WANT to hear is corrupt. For all we know, the all-loving peaceful Bible could have had some ugly verses that were deleted or replaced with more peaceful ones so that Christianity could not look like a culprit or evil religion in the future. CORRUPTION!
An imperfect, flawed religion indicates that it is disqualified as being the true religion.
When you said, "I think people are seeing the question they want to asnwer, not asnwering what has been asked..."
Well, thats kind of like the Christians changing the Bible into what they want their religion to be like (aka allowing more freedoms, making bad deeds seem less impactful, etc.), not seeking the truth or caring about what is really meant for them.
The Bible was once beautiful, but it was changed and adulterated, and therefore lost all its beauty.

I believe that it would not matter if God had said something like;
"!) You should not murder.
2) You should not steal.
3) You should not covet what is not yours.
4) You should not have any Gods other than Myself..." - oh wait, He already did.
As explicit and self-explanatory as those edicts are - people will still claim that they are open to interpretation.
Jesus said to love God with your heart, mind and soul & to love your neighbor as yourself - yet people still have a problem with this.
Why?
Obviously not the love your neighbor part - but the God part.
It never ceases to amaze me that in as much as people hate to be stereotyped and categorized - they will almost always live up to the stereotype.

My friend, Adam and Eve were, fed wisdom directly from the LORD face to face. It's not that the bible can not be understood, grammar school children understand John3:16, Man simply allows himself to be distracted like Eve in the garden. The bible has been translated to almost every language on earth and many understand and accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior.

I think God has been abundantly clear; over and over and over again. People simply refuse to hear. God is saying spiritual things that are on a spiritual level. If you come to God on a natural plane and listen with your natural ears he will be speaking over your head. God is on a spiritual plane saying spiritual things.
Honestly; God has been repeating himself for thousands of years. Who is listening?

The Bible was written my me, not by God. If it was there be something about Global Warming in there. Probably something about Einstein and the atom bomb. There'd also be a lot of confused readers back then too.

The Bible was challenged immediately (at least the new testament) by the Jews.
