of the Bible. STUDYING the Bible is what gives you the understanding. My guess is you were Catholic and Catholics are very weak on Bible study for laymen.
Again, again, again...YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST MEANT TO JUDAISM AND ANCIENT JEWISH LAW!
To have an understanding of the Bible you have know what certain terms and items meant in Biblical Times instead of today's meaning. Such as "the eye of the needle" is not a sewing needle, but a farm implement. It's an opening just large enough to let sheep pass through, but too small for a camel to pass through.
It also helps to have some understanding of the Ancient Aramaic language and translation into Modern English.
