If it's the word of God, shouldn't the Bible be free of contradictions, no matter who's reading it? Why do I need interpretations and apologetics, why can't I just read it and be instantly amazed and convinced? `Mark 16: 17-18` >And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover. It's easy to offer at least some proof the Bible is true and that you are "right" in your beliefs - you let a poisonous snake bite you or drink some other poison and you survive without any damage. Keep in mind that there are some preachers and believers who have tried this who are not among the living anymore or were at least seriously harmed themselves. I hope you wouldn't try this because even you realize that the Bible cannot and should not be taken seriously.

@dave, the bible is a book written by men as inspired of God but needs you to read it to understand it. You need to read God's word with d aid of the holy ghost to know what is written in it, just as you would any other literary material. It is never a mysterious book or a magical book

> the bible is a book written by men as inspired of God but needs you to read it to understand it. I have read it. > You need to read God's word with d aid of the holy ghost to know what is written in it, just as you would any other literary material. I have read it as any other literary material and I have rejected it based on what I've read. Have *you* read it and if you had how on Earth didn't you find it appalling? > It is never a mysterious book or a magical book So is the Bible true or not? It can't be both. You either trust what it says or you don't. If you trust it, you should trust Mark 16, if you don't trust it, why are you putting forward Bible quotes as evidence of anything. Also, how do you know your interpretation is any better than mine? I at least take the text at face value without making up additional stuff.
