I will use GIND(going in the dark) when I'm assuming and not knwoing for sure.
The various interpreations of what is sayed in the bible comes from the fact that everyone perceives the world differently(not referring to a scientifical point of view).At the surface we all have basicaly the same perception but at a deeper level we all perceive the world differently(again, not reffering to a scientifical point of view).
Take for example the phrase"believe and do not doubt" wich I have found that is not written in the bible(GIND), at least not in this form .Personally I find that this statement referes to the fact that you shouldn't give much thought to questions like "Does god exist?",you believe it or you don't you don't need to bother with the problem more because it doesn't change anything .GIND: The missinterpretation of the priests led to the persecuting of science because they thinked that you shouldn't research the world, wich is not the case because if God didn't intended you to evolve then he automatically doomed most of mankind to "hellfire".One might say that it wasn't missinterpretation but intentionaly wanting people to be dumb so they could be controled wich is a possibility.
And another cause may be that the biblical text is written in a way that everyone could undestand it resulting in different interpretations . This might have been a safety taken to prevent mass manipulation, but the lack of developing intelligence still lead to that.
