The bible is a story used by organised religion to control - and as governments have learned the best method of control is by the careful generation of fear within the populace.\n\nThe bible was written and translated in the years following the creation of the Holy Roman empire, and in order to generate fear the writers created a vengeful and powerful God.  In the original scriptures, when more accurately translated by modern historians, there is much less deity-attributable destruction and more emphasis on the way we should live our lives.\n\nOrganised religion continues to try to link personal faith with regulated belief - and because they need the power of traditional belief must continue to use the old translations.  The result is the misunderstanding of certain very important party of the bible, combined with the cultural differences between ancient Judea and early catholic Rome.\n\nIgnore the accepted Bible and instead explore your own faith - God exists as a fantastic power within the universe for understanding, love and compassion.

Most people don't understand the Bible because they are interpeting it theirselves. \nThere's only 1 Bible and 1 Religion(Eph.4:4-5; 5:27) people should know this. \nThe Bible tells us that God will tell you what it means; if you let the Holy Spirit (2Peter 1:19-21)guide you into truth. \nDoes anyone do that? NO

Some say that the Bible is nothing more than fairy tales. But this cannot be for it contains great wisdom and truth and it has been verified throughout history as being accurate.  Its historical accounts are flawlessly accurate. In fact, archaeology routinely demonstrates the accuracy of the biblical records concerning locations and events recorded in the Bible.  \n\nThe Bible is a collection of 66 books written by about 40 authors, in three different languages, on three different continents, over approximately 1600 years. The Bible claims to be inspired and inerrant. This means that the Bible claims to be from God and that it is without error in everything it addresses.\n\nThe Bible contains many different styles of writing such as poetry, narration, fiction, history, law, and prophecy and must be interpreted in context of those styles. It is the source of the Christian religion in that the Bible contains the words of God and how the Christian is to apply the words of God to his life.\n\nBasically, the Bible describes the origin of man in the Garden of Eden along with his fall into sin and out of fellowship with God. It then describes how God called out a special people to Himself, the Israelites. He promised the Israelites a future Messiah who would restore mankind's relationship with God. The Bible is the account of the work of God in history bringing to fruition His prophetic declarations concerning Jesus.  Jesus was born of the Virgin, died on the cross, and paid for sins, just as the Bible prophesied in the Old Testament and fulfilled in the New.  In short, the Bible points to Jesus, "You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is these that bear witness of Me," (John 5:39).  \n\nFurthermore, the Bible teaches us that forgiveness of sins is found in Jesus alone, "And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved,” (Acts 4:12).

Looks like you answered it yourself. However, my personal opinion is that I really don't care what it says, because I don't believe in it anyway.\n\nThe bible is all I need.

The bible is a compilation of hundreds even thousands of authors who wrote stories about their experiences, sermons, letters to churches/congregations, over thousands of years.  They had Faith in their beliefs about what they wrote, but none of it is really supposed to be fact so much as an expression of faith through illustrations and stories.

The Bible focuses on spiritual matters, not the physical world.  That's why it doesn't mention so many things that would be of interest (for example, the trade routes known at the various tmes the Books were written; population figures; manner of dress, etc.).

Bible is not the tool to find truth. It assumes a God and records God's words as given by the prophets.\n\nHaving said that, the bible interprets itself. There are plenty of resources to pin down the meaning.\n\nIs Bible meaning truth? What do you believe?
