Yet others find them difficult to understand, ambiguous, open to wide and sometimes contradictory interpretation, highly contextual... For a 'perfect' being, trying to communicate (from a religious position) the most important message in existence, it's a slap-dash method.
The Bible is easy to understand. The basic rule is that a person must believe and obey without exception. All of the stories are based upon that basic rule. It really doesn't matter what the story is about or if it conflicts with other stories. A person "sins" when he doesn't believe and obey without exception.
The second thing is that the stories are based on one of the Ten Commandments found in Exodus 34:10-28.
Once you understand that then you can understand the Bible.
And remember, it's an ethnocentric Middle Eastern Jewish religious fairy tale that was written by an English committee around the year 700. And it's been revised countless times since then but the basic rule and theme hasn't changed. But it also says that people shouldn't believe in Jewish fairy tales.
Titus 1:14 (CEV) = "Don’t pay any attention to any of those senseless Jewish stories and human commands. These are made up by people who won’t obey the truth."
