Okay, if you've "Dabbled" in with "Scientology" than , you'll most likely, be a "Skeptic" no matter, what we, "Christians" have to say.. Okay, regarding your questions, if you ask Our Heavenly Father, to fill you with his "Holy-Spirit" , then the Holy-Spirit, will then interpet, what the bible, really is all about, and then you will understand it better........The bible also says, for us to be "Specific" in our prayers.......So, you would then say: Our Heavenly Father, Thank-You for this bible, (He loves praise & Thank-you's) but, Father I have a problem, understanding it...Please open my heart & mind, to better understand, everthing I'm reading, and if you can interpet, it all too my heart, for it to all take on, new meaning within my heart.......Or say, what your heart is guiding you too say..........Also, you have to take into consideration, that this book was written a Thousand, or two years ago, and their definition, of measurements, may have been very different than, "Our measurements" today, you know ........ And, besides, all that we're talking about men, who wrote the Good Book , writing it while residing in the Middle East........So, their whole concept of measurements, have to be a bit different than ours, they lived in the Middle East, and probably did things differently than, we, did in those days........I dont think God wants you to follow Old School ways to build a "Temple" but to allow the Holy-Spirit, to guide your Steps, the bible says, for us to do......God knows times are much more Modern now, and He's not going to hold it against you, should you do things the "Modern-Way" dont be so hard on yourself..... Or the bible for that reason.....If this is all so frustrating , for you, you definately need to get filled-with the Holy spirit, so He can interpet, everything to you, better!!! I was Just like you, when I first got "Saved", I'd read the bible, and none of it, seemed to make any sense, to me........Until, a fellow-Christian, friend of mine, said tell God, what your feeling.......And be specific, and ask him to fill, you with the Holy-Spirit, first, then tell him, how "Frustrated" His Word, is making you, and how you want Better Understanding of His word.......And when I did that, it was like a whole "New World" had Opened up, to me, I just cannot describe how, much that bible took on New-Meaning , for me.........I couldn't set it down, after I prayed that prayer, it just literally fascinated, me, after that point, to where, I was just literally hungry for Gods word !!! It just became, this Awesome Book , from that point on........And I felt as though I went with alot of those people, through, their experiences, with them, it was so "Awesome" from that day, on.......God Help This Man, To Better Understand, your word, and To Better know you, open up HIs heart & mind, to all the Real meaning behind this book.........In Jesus Name I Pray, Amen,........ God-Speed, to you, friend........
