Thanks for stating the not-so-recognized obvious. I think a lot of times we don't realize it because of our biased states. :) This is a great post. Thanks for stating the not-so-recognized obvious.

That doesn't necessarily make your bias wrong, but it does make your bias, a bias. Yeah, it’s pretty much impossible to be un-biased about anything.

Everything the Bible says is from a Godly view, not a worldly. When God says through Paul love isn't about YOU it's about OTHERS, that isn't a worldly perspective, that's a Godly perspective. That doesn't make sense to us, as humans. We think we should GET everything, not GIVE everything. You're right. If you look at the Bible as a non-believer who isn't being called by God, it won't make sense. If you're a non-believer who's looking at the Bible for answers, for something bigger than yourself, you're going to find them and Him. That's exactly what the parables were for. Read John 8 (or more specifically, John 8:37-47). It IS possible to understand some of the Bible. However, it ISN'T possible to understand God, or the reasons why He does things sometimes.
