So if some stuff is too hard to understand, you probably didn't need to anyway.
I hesitate to ask this for fear of offending, but I honestly would really like to know . . . why do people take the Bible as the actual Word of God? At best, it seems to me to be the Word of God as written down by flawed humans. We even have different versions of the Bible. I understand having faith in God, but why do people have faith that the humans who wrote the Bible didn't allow their own limitations and prejudices to influence what they wrote? If you don't mind explaining to me, I would really like to try to understand.
