The truth is that God did not leave us with a message that could not be understood. Paul wrote to the church in Corinth, “For we are not writing any other things to you than what you read or understand.” (2 Corinthians 1:13). Also, God would not expect us to “test the spirits, whether they are of God…” (1 John 4:1) if we are not able to understand his revelation. Finally, Paul said that to be “approved of God” a person must be “rightly dividing the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15). This would indicate that the Bible can be understood and is a good warning for us to be careful not to twist God’s word so that we can be approved by him.
