Theology should be the science of God but, it has become the showcase of man's goofy ideas.

When I approach people on these threads, it is from the perspective of what I found and not form the perspective that has been taught for centuries. Which teaching is aimless without life. If no one interacts with life then: how can they teach life being dead?

The whole bible is about living that life that God promised in His Word and is available no where else except God and even without written Word.

So then life living is more important then the Words we read! Because we are more then a Word!

I'm sure that I'm going to regret asking this question - but oh well.
If it's "God's Word" why has "god" allowed it to be riddled with inexcusable nonsense and manipulation?  Why so many "translation errors"?  Why is interpretation so vague that 12 preachers of the same denomination will give 12 different interpretations about what they THINK a passage says?  Why is God shown as an immoral, evil, brutal bronze age war god?  Why is god 404 not found anywhere, even to those who pray and read the book daily?

Nope.  I don't think there is anything special hidden in those pages.  And if god exists, humans certainly shouldn't have to study ancient Greek and Aramaic and ancient Hebrew to get to whatever "real" inspiration that you think you have found.  The book desperately needs a re-write, and we need to have "god" come down here and make the corrections in front of TV cameras.

All of the biblical stories illustrate the effects of following or ignoring the Ten Commandments found in Exodus chapter 34:10-28.  Verse 10 is the one that explains the purpose of the miracles.  The only commandment everyone follows is the First Commandment, about invading other people's land, destroying their religious artifacts, and enslaving or killing them.  

When you read a particular story you should be able to identify which of the Ten Commandments it's about.
