What a coincidence. Many in my family are not believers. We must be living in anti-parallel worlds.

No problem not knowing though, there is still much I don't understand. But I like a maxim I heard once about Scripture. The main things are the plain things. In other words, the Bible is not such a mystery. It is understandable. It is God's personal revelation to us. He says He will help you understand it when you sincerely seek Him (in particular, as opposed to any general supposed deity.) But Scripture nails the point on the head when it says that it is a matter of the heart only that keeps us from Him.
