Featured Is the Bible a confusing book?

Thank you.

It is not that I have no knowledge at all of the things of the Word of God, but the things I know often don't come to mind, because of the sickness upon my mind, that is, my schizophrenia, whereby I often can hardly focus or think, not being able to call to remembrance every lesson I know, but expounding the gospel of Christ on certain occasions.

 

Thank you.

 

With understanding of that very thing, I never declared the confusion God's fault, as according to a troll making use of the word "if". Rather, I set down a word imprecise, the intended, fuller meaning this: Seeing the Bible is the Word of God, why is it hard for the saints' understanding, for the lost often declare the Lord to be a poor communicator, though I myself, a believer in Christ, have knowledge that He is not.

 

Thank you. Unfortunately I can't buy any items from Amazon right now, but sometimes I try to read the NKJV online and in the Bible app I have on my phone. However, I still think the KJV is the most accurate translation. I hope this doesn't offend anyone. Do you have any issue with the KJV, or do you think it's acceptable to read it? I really don't want to start another debate about this issue.

 

I agree that the Bible is the Word of God, and that it's not a confusing book, but that the things therein signified are to the unspiritual impossible to be understood, because the Spirit of God is not in them. I also think that in my case, God has only revealed to me what He wants me to know, requiring me to study the things that already I am able to understand, or that in my case, I cannot understand structures syntactically complex, in which many Biblical passages are written, knowing that -- not to boast of my own ability, which is less than that of many -- although I'm able to write long sentence with clarity, yet I'm unable to write sophisticated ones, due to my lack of a sophisticated mind, my own mind even unable to concentrate on the things people say when conversing with me, although they are speaking with simplicity and plainness.

I obtained the ability to write this way through study of grammar and practice, and through recent practice in writing with utmost clarity and brevity, which was not concerned with rhythm at all, although I believe that God has enabled me to write as well as I'm able to, because, of any ability of mine, I ought never to boast, even as the Bible says, although it seems that through overmuch speech of it, I gloat. Forgive me. And, if I boast of a false gift now, forgive me also for this.

It is also possible that my medication, finally effective, has given me clarity of mind whereby I am able to do this better.

Also, I've been doing a little exercise almost every day.

 

But are you free grace or Lordship, and what is more likely to be exegeted (not sure if I spelled the right) from the NKJV?

 

Well, my main concern is not Bible translation, but theology, that is, whether the right doctrine is free grace or Lordship, Calvinism or a different thing.

 

Yes, I agree with that.

 

Thank you for sharing those verse with me. I was able to understand them. I guess those are verse that God desires all to understand.
