If bible came from god it would be more precise!!!?

Question

If an all powerful deity wrote/dictated/whatever the Bible it would be more precise and far less open to crazy imterpretations!!! What about that? (with all the respect!) Please only reasonable perspectives... no insult or BS

Answer 1

For all the bickering that goes on about the bible, I find it interesting that it is one of the most guarded books. Interpretations are made with extreme care, and weighed for their meaning against other translations.
The original languages of Greek and an old Jewish tongue, used words that had multiple uses. The verses then had multiple meanings even within the contexts of the scriptures.
But in all this the bible has maintained is original meanings clearly enough to have followings of millions, Doctors and Professors, Men of respect and high stations in life. Sir Issac Newton wrote a great deal on the bible.
and it's chief critics are usually less educated and their accusations usually demonstrate that they have not read the bible at all.
I believe that GOD chose the way the bible would be written.
It is confusing to make you look deeper. and to separate those who will from those who will not.

Answer 2

The original bible has never been made available to the public. People have used their own translations to change it. Many parts of the bible are written by "other" men then God. There are missing passages in the bible that is out today. Mankind has taken the bible and interpreted their own way and put in words that probably were not even in the original.

Answer 3

Anything can be interpreted the wrong way, just go read a bunch of high school book reports. If people are truly willing to follow God's word, instead of just bending it to what they want to hear, then they will interpret it the right way. Just like when your mom says, "Go clean your room." She means go thoroughly clean the room right now. If you really love and want to obey your mom, you'll understand what she said and obey it. If you don't really care, you'll wait until you're done with whatever else you were doing, then just pick up a couple shirts so you "technically" cleaned it. Then you could argue that she wasn't precise enough.
Maybe the Bible isn't vague. Maybe you're still trying to make it say what you want it to say.

Answer 4

The Bible is actually a bunch of diffrent scriptures and testimonies written by others such as the disciples who were inspired by the Lord. Do a little factual research into the catholic religion and you would be surprised by what you find. For example did you know that back in the day they only had one church where everyone would prey not just one specific religion, so it came to be known as "Catholic" which means universal. Also, did you know that Catholics is a form of Jew? Same thing!

Answer 5

well it depends on whos doing the interpreting... my understanding is that if you understand the greek language and the Hebrew language you go directly to those translations first to see where and when those words are used and how they were used in everyday greek life, since the new testament was written in greek thanks to the Hellenization of the ancient world. If you get the New International Version of the bible with concordance it goes through the passages and offers explanations on the bottom half of the page describing what certain words pertain to.

Answer 6

The bible was inspired by god, but much of it is story, and stories are often interpreted diffrently... another problem occurs in translation, there are for instance, many greek words for love some mean brotherly love others mean adore etc. but we lose effects like that in traqnslation and with it alot of meaning...

Answer 7

God did not write the Bible, I don't know where people get that (not trying to be rude there, just honest). And there are different versions of the Bible, which makes for different interpretations.

Answer 8

I found the Bible to be perfectly clear.

The only people who "interpret" the Bible are liars who are trying to pervert the book to support their own false claims.

Go ahead, give it a read sometime. Very straight forward.

Answer 9

God dictated (revealed) the bible to Jesus, but with time, people changed it, and rewrote it, and hid some parts and added some parts, that's why now there are many versions that are not accurate, and that's why there is mismatch between religion and science..
otherwise, it would have been all true and correct, because originally it was the words of God..

Answer 10

I don't think it fits our idea of God that He would give human beings the Bible and leave all other beings high and dry! What we say and believe about God merely reflects our own imperfections..... and indeed this thing about the Bible or Gita or Koran having been directly handed down to us by God Himself is one of the prime example of our imperfect thinking and belief.
