It is stated that we (mankind) can not understand the fullness of GOD => man is the one lacking the ability to understand [comprehend], not GOD nor His Word?
I really don't feel like getting into the topic of whether God is logical or illogical, which seems where this could go.
I just simply don't think that a "smart" God would present his word in such pathetic human languages. Makes no sense.
This leads to missinterpretations and wrong behavior.
One person may read it and think something completely different of what it was meant for. If Gods word is perfect then we should be able to understand it perfectly.
Plus it is hardly perfect. Many MANY contradictions which I refuse to even try to post here. If you think I am bullshitting just go to Google and type in "Bible Contradictions." I promise you'll get alot of shit. lol

that is a wrong assumption.
We have been given a free will to either accept God or reject Him. If he revealed himself to us in such a way that there was no realistic possibility but to accept him and believe him then we really dont have free will.
It is the same with the Bible. We can either accept it or reject it. If it were presented to us in any other way, we would be left with no realistic option but to believe it, thus our free will is violated.
Makes no sense.
If God gave you a piece of paper with his "holy perfect words" on it and told you to read it and you by chance thought it meant go kill people how is that your fault?
Its not! Its Gods fault for presenting a terrible piece of information. How are you supposed to be able to devote your life to a perfect piece of work if you can't understand it perfectly.
1. He presents it in VERY fallible languages which is extremely unreliable. Once again fails to be perfect.
2. If God presented his Holy words in a way that we could perfectly understand, takes away our free will how?
It doesn't, it simply makes us able to appreciate him for being able to communicate to us clearly.
I once heard this saying: "You never really understand something fully until you can teach it."
Which fits this situation quite well.
If I told you the world that fire burns you perfectly and clearly.
Would some people still touch fire?
Of course some would. People are stupid.
This perfectly displays that by no means takes away anyones freewill to choose not to touch the fire.
And if your still thinking about faith, if God gave you his words that were understood perfectly by all it still wouldn't prove whether he exist or not. Its still just words. And that doesn't prove God in anyway.
If he truly was God he would find a "way" to communicate "Perfectly" with no missinterpretations and still require people to have faith.
He's God, he can do anything.
Much luv. Lata babes.
