Is the Bible clear?

[Michlow]

Yes. Clearly Confusing. Course, I may just be stupid

For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.

This wisdom have I seen also under the sun, and it seemed great unto me:

There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it:

Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.

Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.

The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.

Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.

That's right, I said !

Know anybody like that, Timmy?

Nope!

Parts of the bible are not clear, other parts are very clear.

I agree. I have to -- already gave Pel a thumbs-up for his example.

Here's another example:

Romans 13:1

Now that's clear!
