THE BIBLE DOESN'T MAKE SENSE

"When I was young, a very early teen, I was trying to make up my mind about religion, my parents gave me the Bible to read for myself. I didn't go to church. I just started at Genesis and after a while it just didn't make much sense to me. I haven't explored it since, because I already know there's nothing in it." [T.S.]

Here we see someone who was just barely able to read the words trying to understand symbolism, morals, parables, etc. He was trying to read the Bible sequentially! It takes scholars a long time to disect a book of the Bible. Comparing it to other verses of the Bible for content and context; checking it with the original language to clarify the meaning. People have been struggling with the Bible for thousands of years, and only now are we seeing it more clearly because it was talking about things that hadn't happened so no one could compare them the events yet.

The Bible in the hands of a child, without any form of guidance, it virtually pointless. Without proper understanding of its construction and origin, authors and language, it is a difficult task for even the most learned to follow in whole.
