Aractus' post is very informative and accurate.
Simply put, if you are a Christian, your faith causes you to believe that the Bible came from original "sacred" texts written by the apostles and prophets, themselves. And thus, the Bible is the word of God translated into one's native tongue.
Historians and Bible scholars wrestle even with agreeing as to what to accept and not accept, and what is literal etc...
The Catholic Church teaches that the Pope has the ability to interpret the Bible with infallibility.
He's more special than the rest if us mere mortals, I guess. lol
As an atheist, it seems ridiculous. As a Christian, you do believe it to be the word of God with the writers as his messengers to tell the story.
