<<I would suggest that a reading of scripture will give anyone enough information to understand God's love and plan of redemption. If you want to understand the fine points I believe that God has given us a mind and the proper resources to dig out the truth.>>
Witin my own expweriences, I dont find this to be true. It appears to me that if you talk to many different Christians(i.e, Catholics, Lutherans, Baptists, Protestants, Chritian Scientists, etc,) all study the Bible with faith and integrity, but come to different conclusions on how to interpret different parts of it. Given these different perspectives and interpretations, it becomes clear that man is not capable of deterimining a single focus and understanding of the Bible. Perhaps that is due to our failings, transliteration, punctuation or whatever. whatever, the reson, god had toknow this would be a problem. Why didnt he supply the answers in a fashion that would create less controversy, less hatred, and even less warfare?
