“THE Bible is a plain, honest, straightforward, simple Book. It is easy to read and easy to understand. It needs no learned introduction, no expert scholarship to enable us to grasp its meaning.”

Tell that to the Ethiopian eunuch.

“Tell that to the Ethiopian eunuch.”

“The first necessity for the understanding of the Bible is the removal of all the embargoes which have been placed upon the operation of the Spirit of God in opening and illuminating the mind of the reader.”

>>Tell that to the Ethiopian eunuch.<<

That story is rather short. I’d need more background information on the eunuch and the reasons for his confusion.
