there is nothing to interpret in the bible. its all literal.
it was written (not by god or jesus or angels) but by about 400 different men, with the plan to convert others with both fear and hope.
and written for them ancient uneducated, fearful people.
so crazy obscure things worked.
there is no code to understand, no second meaning, nothing lost in translations it was quite easy to translate from greek/latin/hebrew/the other 8 common languages used in the bible; to each other or todays english.
those are excuses for a meaningless religion.
