What's the point of studying it (the Bible) if doesn't apply to your life?

Have you studied it or have you just read it?


Read and studied the most contradictive and interesting places. There're a lot of things to be understood, although sometimes the truth is so clear that trying to "understand" it is even worse... You bury the truth lying on the surface the more you try to understand and dig the more deep.
