if anyone makes mistakes

Matt said

If anyone makes mistakes reading or interpreting the bible then it shows that the author hasn't done a very good job conveying the message doesn't it.


@Matt

Making mistakes is part of the human condition, Matt.

Following your reasoning, if one were to give an organic chemistry textbook to a first grader to read, any mistakes or misunderstandings of the child had would be the fault of the author of the textbook.

The failure of a reader to understand the Bible is NOT the fault of the author, it is with the reader. Those that choose to read the Bible with the light off are not going to understand it.
