Hey Yardirt. Actually, SS, I learned those particular things due in part to a determination to understand ... while having isolated myself in my study for a very lengthy time.
Is that how God had the bible written for us? It is written so that a person has to dig that deep?
What of those who are illiterate, have NO bible? What about those who know nothing other than ALLAH, BUDDAH? What about those who have no bible dictionaries, concordances, commentaries, Lexicons, etc? How will these ones learn the Bible? Will God judge all these unworthy because.......they haven't come to know him?
I have BEEN a dub......for 40 years, served as an elder, studied my butt off......and still, the bible in many things, makes no sense. Why would God write a book that is left open to countless of interpretations........why not make it simple for ALL to understand?
( don't forget to answer two paragraph's above)
