Yeah we all know that we need a specialised Priest to understand the Bible.

Not necessarily though it certainly helps to get their insight since a lot of priests dedicate their lives to understanding the words within the Bible. You don't need to talk to a physicist to understand physics but it'd be a pretty good spanking idea to talk to one and at the end of the day they'll still almost certainly know more than you in a deeper and richer manner.

God couldn't predict that in 2.000 years the bible would be harder to understand, he couldn't just put it on better terms.

No. He was too busy worrying about his choosen people losing yet another war against Rome, or something.


No, you don't need a priest to understand - you just need to not be a smug, know-it-all who thinks he has all the answers when in reality he doesn't know jack shit.

Probably why you can't understand it.

I've got the Christian Discussion Thread open in another tab, feel free to pose your questions for me there.

But oh yes of course: "ou have a very, very poor grasp on religion."

Sorry mate, forgot i was speaking to the Pope here.

No, the Bible is a collection of various writings and teachers. A lot of it is historical documentation while others are priestly interpretations and others are commands by God. Also a lot of the OT (though not all) was placed on the back burner with the establishment of the NT.

You do, you have shown a very poor grasp of the Bible and read it in a very literal manner.

Yeah you're right. How stupid to believe that God would show himself trough doctrine or something. AH!

It's well-known that we need to have faith for God to save us. From the World he created. Fully Knowing what would happen.

Could be, but fire bombing? Either way, I say this to mean that religious based or motivated terrorism seems to be on the rise.

I was a very devout Catholic when i was a kid. Reading the bible made me an atheist. But yeah you're right. I just can't understand it, since my views are so biased already!

And you're going to party hard in heaven, while the rest of us unbelievers will rot in hell. That's not smug at all!
