A. It is the direct and literal word of God, and God miraculously dropped it out of the sky, already written, published, bound, and in English.
B. It is the literal word of God, but it was written down by people who were divinely inspired by God and so every word in it is absolute truth and should not be questioned.
C. It is the word of God, but it was written down by people; and since people are falliable, it is full of inaccuracies and inconsistencies. We should try to study the Bible and similar writings to determine which parts are accurate and which are not.
D. It is a collection of many different writings, including myths, allegories, the history of the Jewish people, writings about Jesus by people who knew him, and the works of the prophets who may or may not have been divinely inspired by God.
E. Most of it is false because there is no God, but it is a very useful resource for learning about the history of the Jews.
F. It's all false. It's completely made up!
