Some questions

I'm dealing with maybe poor reading comprehension and maybe schizophrenia and maybe something else. I've read the Bible and might have used GotQuestions.org for one or maybe more of these questions but I guess I still have problems.

Some people need to take more baby steps before learning to walk than others.  I encourage you to do more of a topical study instead of trying to remember everything the bible has to say..

Lee, would you consider using an audible bible? You can download one onto your phone or even listen to bible studies in your car.  You may find it easier to understand the Bible hearing it read out loud rather than reading it if you find it difficult.  Gotquestions is a great site, but it can't supplant the reading and hearing of the Word. Even going to church and hearing sermons preached may be helpful for you.

There are people who spend their entire lives trying to wrap their heads around the whole of scripture, but I doubt there's anyone on the earth who isn't still learning, on top of review. 

I go back to things I've read previously and it's like there's something different each time. I look back on my first readthrough and I wonder how I didn't pick up on lots of different things.

If you ask me, slow and steady wins the race. Things either get done fast or they get done well. Take your time and approach it with a calm mind. It can also help to pray before you pick the book up, for wisdom and guidance, for a better understanding.

I'm sorry if my answers seem to be so cut and dry. Sometimes we get posts here that 'bait' members just to get reactions rather than genuine replies as you're seeking. I also have some visual difficulties with some dyslexia as well. I've been told my reading comprehension wasn't all that wonderful either. gotquestions.org is pretty good for a number of things, and many of us have resorted to it.

So, don't feel badly about that at all. Perhaps the suggestion below would help with learning scriptures. A lot of people prefer it that way and are able to learn better audibly. By the way, biblehub.com is a good site for comparative biblical studies on verses that might be difficult to understand. It's a very handy resource, and I recommend it highly. God bless you.

Did Jesus die on the cross?  YES

Does Jesus' death pay for sins? YES

If Jesus' death pays for sins, why does Jesus' death pay for sins?  There is no forgiveness without the shedding of blood.  Jesus shed His blood on the cross

 Heb 9:16  For where a will is involved, the death of the one who made it must be established.

 Heb 9:17  For a will takes effect only at death, since it is not in force as long as the one who made it is alive.

  Heb 9:18  Therefore not even the first covenant was inaugurated without blood.  Heb 9:19  For when every commandment of the law had been declared by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,  Heb 9:20  saying, “This is the blood of the covenant that God commanded for you.”

 Heb 9:21  And in the same way he sprinkled with the blood both the tent and all the vessels used in worship.

 Heb 9:22  Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.

 Heb 9:23  Thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

 Heb 9:24  For Christ has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf.

 Heb 9:25  Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not his own,  Heb 9:26 for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

 Heb 9:27  And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment,   Heb 9:28  so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.

If Jesus' death pays for sins, does Jesus' death pay for everyone's sins?  It forgives all those who surrender to Him as there Lord and Master.

Rom 10:9  because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.  Rom 10:10  For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.

Jesus acted like a human on the cross he died as a human does, he was sinless and perfect an became a lamb and a suffering servant despite being God the Son. Anyone who believe in Jesus will be blessed and have their sins paid for. Everyone who doesnt come to Jesus will bear their own sins.
