Thy Word Is a Lamp Unto My Feet

What is good? What is true? Which is the right path? The Bible is the Word of God which is the answer to all these questions. The Bible is really a simple book to read but we insist in making it complicated to interpret because we are sinners who insist in our ways.

For example, we have verses like this in the Bible:
Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him. (Proverbs 26:4 KJV)
Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit. (Proverbs 26:5 KJV)
Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. (Galatians 6:2 KJV)
But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. For every man shall bear his own burden. (Galatians 6:4-5 KJV)

What can we understand from this?

1. Contradictions exist in the Bible, thus it is not the Word of God.
2. The Bible support situational ethics, where the ends can justify the means.
3. God allows human discretion.
