Not really, it was mostly written by the same mystery school, by different people and times but bares single purpose.
BZZZZZZZT!!! I’m sorry, your answer is incorrect. I’m afraid you’ve been eliminated from the game, but you won’t go home empty-handed. You’re leaving with a lovely parting gift; the home version of our game: Get. A. Clue!

Have you ever wondered why Jesus spoke in parables that not even his own disciples could not understand?

Well, I studied to find out. And what I learned was that only those who were interested enough did he reveal what they meant. Only to the ones who truly believed he was who he claimed to be and wanted to understand the truth behind what he spoke.
Nice fairy tale.

I have my own intuition and also read a lot of Gnostic sources, especially Rudolf Steiner. I have a good Idea what Christ Jesus was about.
Intuition isn’t very useful in the exegetical process. In fact, it usually gets in the way.

How does it follow that inspiration cannot produce contradiction?

If a Perfect God wants to inspire a book about salvation shouldn't he proof read what his writers write so there no confusion and hundred of denominations don't pop up. But it follows that a perfect all powerful god should be able to handle writting a clear forward book. Yet since the bible is not like that God doesn't exist.

Or we do not understand " Perfect God".

No thats not right too, because a perfect god would dumb it down enough for us. I'm sorry, but the bible is proof enough that the Christian concept of an all powerful all knowing perfect god does not exist.
I understand enlightened and learned were used to read and explain Scripture, now Gideon's BIble can be found any motel room.
