Near my home, there is a pretty busy intersection. One road is divided, with two lanes on one side, and four lanes on the other side--two going straight and two turn lanes. In the middle is a special lane just for the city bus route. The other road has a total of three lanes.
It's difficult to describe, but the turn lanes can be confusing with the separated road. So they're marked out with white lines painted on the pavement. But when going straight on one road, the lines marking the left turns on the other road cross each other, so it looks like the outside lane disappears. I don't quite know how to put it into words, but it's an optical illusion, and it can lead drivers astray. I was almost hit by another car because of it.
It struck me, though, that God's word is never like that. There are some things that I don't understand, but the Bible is pretty straightforward. God does not deliberately try to lead us into trouble. Love God, and Love each other. That's what it all boils down to.
