Sinners cannot understand the Bible!

[Darwinian]

If the only way that you can understand the bible is to believe in God then you also must accept that the bible is the word of God.

Having accepted this when you come across things in the bible that don't make any sense or contradict themselves you are going to immediately come to the conclusion that you are not reading it correctly and the fault lies with you as you have already accepted that the bible is the work of God and therefore cannot contain errors or nonsense.

Your only recourse is to then contort your way of thinking to conform to what is written and to convince yourself that it does make sense when in reality, it doesn't.

When the mind is confronted with nonsense and the logical explanation is closed off to it then it must come up with another solution. In the case of bible believers the only course is to fabricate a solution in their imagination that agrees with the text, no matter what the text says.

This is why there are almost as many interpretations of the bible as there are believers.

Christians are testament to this fact.
