If such a claimed God exists, seems as though, it is asserted God has the ability to communicate with humans: via the Word, in prayer, other. However:
1. Is God providing conflicting messages to differing humans?
Furthermore:
2. Does the Bible itself appear to give conflicting messages, or is the Bible in perfect unison and harmony? What is written in the pages of the Bible seems to also conflict in areas. Namely, salvation. Ask two Christians, from differing sects, what God deems as necessary for salvation, and the answers will likely conflict. Would it be safe to say humans can blame God for not clearling providing His Words?
3. Thus, how do Christians decide which verses to adhere to, and which to ignore or re-translate? How do Christians decide which verses are not meant to be taken as literal; even if they appear axiomatic in their written intent, which might seem to conflict with opposing verse? Again, namely, the method for salvation.
Thank you in advance
