Why Many Cannot Understand The Bible. by knowingChrist(m): 1:44pm On Jan 20, 2022
The bible we know is given by the inspiration of God so we cannot doubt it's message unless a person decides not to believe (and deny) the existence of God and the Authority of Jesus Christ. Yet it's impossible to understand the message without first taking certain steps.

The bible is written in languages and we know languages have laws. Therefore, a person who wishes to study the bible must first learn the grammatical laws of the particular language they decide to study from before they even attempt to understand the message. This gives a proper and holistic understanding of the message, and makes the message real so that even those who had not believed might be convinced. Without this precursory step, many who say they believe in Jesus do not have the knowledge as is the proof of a believer.

The message of the bible was given through objectified visions and written in Hebrew Language to facilitate understanding for the Hebrews. The message was interpreted (by the apostles) with the help of the Holy Spirit, and this interpreted message was translated also with the help of the Holy spirit into modern languages with English Language (and KJV) being the most popular translation of the bible on this day.

A clear understanding of the person and function of the Holy spirit shows that He ministers to every individual in the language they can understand. Having first given the message, the Holy spirit opens a person's understanding to recognize the grammatical laws in the specific language they choose, and this ensures that a person gets the accurate message.

Therefore, an astute student of the scripture must first understand the grammatical laws of English Language before attempting to understand the message of the bible.

An example of an occasion why it's needed to understand the grammatical laws in English language before attempting to understand the bible is seen in Genesis 2:8, And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed - KJV.

The phrase "had formed" is grammatically relevant and is known as Pluperfect. it denotes an event/action happened prior to a specified or implied time. Therefore, the above verse means that Man (Adam) was formed before the garden of Eden was planted, and Adam was put in the garden of Eden after it was planted. This shows the hidden meaning in the verse is that Adam was formed before the garden of Eden, and this was hidden with the Pluperfect "had formed".

There are other grammatically relevant verses in the bible and some of these will be discussed in sequels of this write up. Thank you for reading.

Here's a link to learn about Pluperfect https://www.google.com/search?q=pluperfect&rlz=1C1FKPE_enNG989NG989&oq=pluperfect&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j0i512l9.4249j1j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Righteousness and Good is an abomination to people who are wicked, so since the Bible is full of Rightdoings, therefore the evils will not be able to understand it!

Because you people are evil, therefore it is only evil and contradictions you can see. Void of Good Understanding but plentiful in evil seeings.

This is all nothing but a cooked up lie meant to decieve and delude people into believing lies in the name of God.

see this confused person bringing evil to this discussion as if anyone talked about your book being evil (even though we all know it is)....
but hey, since you believe that this holybook of yours aint evil, here is below some "virtuous" (lol) verses in your holyook:

- Deuteronomy 17:12 Anyone who shows contempt for the judge or for the priest who stands ministering there to the Lord your God is to be put to death. You must purge the evil from Israel.
- Exodus 21:15 Anyone who attacks[a] their father or mother is to be put to death.
- Leviticus 20:9 Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death. Because they have cursed their father or mother, their blood will be on their own head.
- Leviticus 20:10 If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress are to be put to death.
- Leviticus 21:9 If a priest’s daughter defiles herself by becoming a prostitute, she disgraces her father; she must be burned in the fire.
- Deuteronomy 22:20-21 If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the young woman’s virginity can be found, 21 she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done an outrageous thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father’s house. You must purge the evil from among you.
- Leviticus 25:44-46 Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly.

- in Leviticus 24:10-16 ... kill all blasphemous people
- in Deuteronomy 13:7-12 ... kill anyone who worshipping other gods
- in Deuteronomy 13:13-19 ...killing of entire towns
- in 1 Chronicles 21 ...70k were ordered to be slaughtered by that same evil god of yours.
- in Deuteronomy 3 ...genocide upon genocide
- in Joshua 6 ...killing of ntire cities
- in Judges 21 ... extermination of a whole village and rape of its virgins

... and thats just "some" of the virtuous verses in that evil book, and i aint even scratching the rapes, infanticides, slavery, abuses etc

Thieves, Murderers, evil people like you will always say Law is Evil!

The only good law you people will consider good is a law saying everybody can steal, kill and destroy!

MrBrownJay1:

Good understanding would have told you that these are a collection of the evil things which people may do that will destroy both themselves and their nations AS PROVEN TODAY.

FOR PEOPLE DO THESE THINGS TODAY AND EVERY SOUL HAS CONFESSED THAT THE PEOPLES OF THE WORLD ARE VERY EVIL AND THE WORLD, DESTROYED!.

EVERYDAY EVIL NEWS!

SO WHO IS EVIL? IS IT NOT THE PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO DO EVIL THINGS?

There is just one reason: ARROGANCE!

First of all we need to know that God's word is not for everyone to read and understand because God sent His Holy Spirit to enable some people become TEACHERS of God's word {Ephesians 4:11} then we mustn't expect everyone to pick up the Bible read and understand without learning from those given the spirit to teach! Hebrews 13:7, 17

No amount of prayer can change God's plan as He knows the quality He sees in individuals before giving them the gift of TEACHING. So it's not all of us that can pick up the Bible read and digest, even servants of God in ancient times were told not to disturb their brains over what is written in the Bible because God has a plan on how to help in understanding His word! Daniel 12:8-13 smiley
