I will say half the errors in the bible are from some things being taken to literally and somethings being taken out of context. Now I for one have mixed feelings about the old testament but there's enough truth in new testament that I can't deny it based on what I've experienced throughout my life.
God does not literally have fingers to write but I think they were testemonies of people who witnessed the events.
Adam and Eve were Gods creation. The son, Jesus Christ, I'm not sure if he was there then or not. I haven't studied the bible enough but the point is is that, God's son was a teacher and was there to save mankind, whereas Adam and Eve had no such responsibilities, they were the first humans, and failed to obey God, much like some of the Angels. That is where free will comes into play.
Old testament, I cannot help you with that.
Well it does not need to be taken so literally because he was sent to save those people first, to basically set up the church, the real church of christ, he was sent there to be with those people at that time, but was sacrificed for all.
It says right in John 14:7-10 and I think many other times as well. There were prophets after Jesus Christ but none of them claimed to be God in the flesh until modern day and he made it clear in this time, many would say they are him, but are not.
I need some counsel on the pork thing too. But I know why it would be wrong to eat it, it's not good for you, very acidic.
Priests are Catholic, Pastors are Christian. I don't know the influence of a priest, but pastors basically look after there church, the ministry and their people and anyone else really. That is my problem with Catholocism, I don't see why if all men were created equal, that the priest or the pope can have more of a relationship with God. I have prayed and felt forgiven, and know when I am not, and I've never asked a priest to do so for me.
I hope I could be of some help, they're likely much wiser Christians that can give you more information and I really don't know where to point you to as of yet. But I'll try.
Priests and the Pope don't have "more" of a relationship with God. The Pope just gives people rules and oversees the way the Church is run, and the priests just oversee Mass (church services), give last rites, induct new people into the Church, and even perform exorcisms.
Is it normal that Christianity is too ambiguous?

You can pm if you want but I'd rather not have a religious debate here.
