That the Bible contains very mysterious doctrines I admit. "Obvously it doesn't occur to this guy that God may have blinded his understanding to keep the truth hidden from him...That happens when people refuse to believe what God has revealed in His written word... "

I take it you think Scripture is easy to understand, it says otherwise:

2Pt:3:16: "As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are certain things hard to be understood, which the unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction. "

The verse says there are 'certain things' hard to be understood (not impossible), which the Unlearned and Unstable wrest (twist and turn to meet their view of what they want scripture to say) as they do the rest of the scripture...

I take it you think Scripture is easy to understand, it says otherwise:

Scripture that was written for us is not difficult to understand...Believing it is where most people crash and burn...
