First of all, which Bible are you talking about? Protestant Bible has seven books less than the Catholic Bible.
Catholic Bible has Tobit, Judith, Solomon, Sirach, Baruch, Maccabees 1 and 2, plus additions to Daniel and Esther. None of these books are in the Protestant Bible.
Then the Orthodox Bible has even more books. On top of those books that are in the Catholic Bible, it also has Esdras 1 and 2, Manasseh, Psalm 150, Maccabees 3.
I mean, that's a big difference between the Bibles and contradictions.
So what is this shit "your misinterpretation"? I don't need to "misinterpret" it because from the point of view of Christian from one denomination, all other denominations are misinterpreting the Bible.
Why do you think some Christians allow contraception and divorce while others don't? Or why do some celebrate Sunday, while others celebrate Saturday? Or why do some accept Trinity while others don't?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
