If god is supposed to be all-knowing and all-powerful, you'd think he'd have written a better book that, as you say, couldn't be misinterpreted. Since the one people claim is the word of god is so haphazard, full of contradictions, gets all kinds of things wrong with regard to science, and has numerous other mistakes, then there are only two possible conclusions:
1. there is no all-knowing, all-powerful god (since one that was would have produced a better book), or...
2. there might be an all-powerful, all-knowing god, but he sure didn't have anything to do with the bible
Either way, the bible can only logically be a work of men, with all of their biases, ignorance, and superstitions. And so it is :)
Oh, and "arrow": your statement is incorrect. I have read the bible cover to cover over a dozen times, I probably know it better than you do. And I most certainly do not believe it is the word of god, was inspired by god, or has anything to do with god. Knowing it very well reveals its faults, rather than making me believe in it.

Yes God could, however he can not create a human mind from being manipulated, with words man invented to press the agenda of a select few elite peoples agenda and that same agenda has been passed down for generation. The thing is people are just now starting to understand the lies handed down to them and yet the many that would rather fight to keep the religious traditions than to admit they have been taken for a ride. So why did god make us wait until Einstein for electricity. Hum!!!

NO! IT IS NOT POSSIBLE
MISINTERPRET OR INTERPRET IT? WITH THE BIBLE.
KJV Bible 1611 + 303 = 1914 CE an excepted translation for the last days.
Or interpret it because they are so inperfect and have to be very mature to except the fruits of the spirit and get rid of all that, that is not of the fruits of the spirits, Gal.5:19-23;
THE MATURE MIND OF CHRIST
Phillip.2:5,9-12; Our mind must be as the mind of Jesus and we must KNOW we will have to face Jesus. Rom.14:9-12; 2Cor.5:10; Matt.22:37-40 [ the great commandment ];
Gal.5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Gal.5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Gal.5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
THE THINGS OF GOD AND CHRIST ARE FOOLISHNESS TO 19-21 PEOPLE:
Gal.5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Gal.5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
BLESSED ARE THEY THAT READETH,AND THEY THAT HEAR. It is God's word to us.
GOD'S WORD IS IN THE WORLD FOR THOSE IN THE LAST DAY Matt.24:3,14 Jesus is
coming again and his world is without end Eph.3:21; 1Cor.15:22-28; Rev.20:1-6,12,13;

properly, God's words is God's be conscious. yet bear in strategies, with any variety of textual content cloth, human beings misread it. for occasion, if I wrote an editorial approximately some rules and what's and is not any longer allowed, i will guess that there may well be a team of people who might comprehend it precise and stick to it. Then there may well be a team of people who might deny it. Then there might additionally be a team of people who might misread it or exchange it for their own desires. God's words are appropriate. that's humankind that's no longer. or maybe that grew to become into intentional with the aid of God.

Misinterpretation is not God's fault.
His work is perfect.
Deu 32:4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
2Sa 22:31 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.

Yes. He has! Poeple just don't understand cuz they are rtying to hard to find the mistakes that aren't even there. Butt he thing is, Men wrot eth Bible but was inspired by God to write it. Look at how God insprired Moses to write the ten commandmets. he gave Him teh tablest to write them down, and even told him what to write. Ppl alawy use that"oh, but men wrote the Bible" yeah they did but God was the one that inspired every single word in it. He spoke through them Just like how God speaks through ministers and preachers. They may be talking but God's really theone that is guiding htem into teh whole message.

If God ever makes a Bible, we will see. For the moment, we are stuck with the book that people wrote.

God probably could. But we'd all argue if it were really Him or not. However, God himself did not write the Bible. Man did.

The bible is written by men and it contradicts itself. If God exists then he should be able to do that. Until then we will have the bible written by men and people will just pick and choose how they want to interpret it.

In order for that to be true God would have to be the one writing the bible, not man.
