I know it means 'book' but I was talking about the actual individual letters B I B L E. I was told it mean't Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth. What do you think of it?

The Bible (Hebrew: תנ״ך tanakh, Greek: η Βίβλος hē biblos, "the book") (sometimes The Holy Bible, The Book, Work of God, The Word of God, The Word, The Good Book, Scripture, or The Scriptures), is the name used by Jews and Christians for their differing (and overlapping) canons of sacred texts. Most people who identify themselves as Christians or Jews regard the Bible as the revealed word of God, despite variations in interpretation and in the ways in which its accuracy and legitimacy is perceived.

the word BIBLE comes from gr. biblia (books) which.although a plural noun, came to be used in the Latin as asingular. Thus the books,becauseby common consent :The Book: GOD BLESS HAPPY DAY to the very best of my human ability AIN'T perfict just forgiven AMEN

Yes I follow the Book.
I read it every day. Study it all the time. Memorize parts of it. Hang out with people who do likewise so that we get a synergy of knowledge of the Bible going. I try to live at as best I can. That is all God expects of us.
Try to live it as best you can and continually try to improve your understanding of it and your ability to live it out.

As other people have said... it's the word for book. But it's not the Latin word, it's the Greek word. Trust me, I took both Greek and Latin. Latin is Librum.
