well, i’ll disagree a bit with you. i believe if prophecy is given by the inspiration of God and yet it is extremely accurate, then i believe the bible which was also written under the inspiration of God, is accurate. About the politics,, well,,, u mean constantine ryte???? i don’t believe that though. cuz i’ve been exposed to the truth behind what really transpired. trust me, it wasn’t political… i believe the bible is the true word of God and accurate. it might loose some of it’s meaning by way of translations, but the original manuscripts still exist so some pastors still make reference to them

Not at all. Contrary to popular belief, humans wrote the Bible under inspiration.

I usually write poems when I’m inspired by the works of great poets like Keats, Byron and Tolkien. None of them wrote my poems. No matter how I agree with the spirits and sentiments of my sources of inspiration, they did not write it. I did.

Believing God, or his “Spirit” wrote the Bible is a subjective assertion, by faith. And so it falls within the realm of very human arguments. The reason for the perceived success of the Bible is not because of anything intrinsically superior with the book. It’s the people of the faith.

The Bible has been subject to much editing, by various compilers. The original selection of the canon was not entirely spiritual. Yup, politics was a play. It was agreed upon.

Another reason for the Bible’s success is in the natural evolution of society and societal thought. It actually is on the wane, along with religion in general. In the future, you’ll see less of it. Not more.

When trying to understand verses in the Bible, unless you don’t mind being entirely subjective, which is what religion basically is about, you will have to consider the backgrounds and times of the authors of the books accepted in the canon; Moses, Ezekiel, Peter, Paul and the like.

It’s undisputable that the scripture is literature, but for the manifestation of the holy spirit in the course of studyiing, the metaphorical interpretation will elude the reader. It is the more reason people aascribe wrong interpretation to the Bible….
