From my perspective, what is written in the bible and it's meaning is different from the past, to the present unless LITERAL na meaning yung uunawain mo. Meanwhile, if FIGURATIVE na meaning yung uunawin mo, ang simple word, phrase or sentence ay magkakaroon ng madaming meaning at habang tumatagal ang mas dumadami pa ito. example would be "DOVE", "dove" could mean peace, means freedom, or purity, then what in the future a certain event or situation will have a certain connection with word "dove", then dove will have another symbolism and figurative meaning in that era. kaya kahit anong explain mo di mo talaga 100% na masisigurado yung ang pag kakaintindi nila nuon.

Minsan nakakapagtaka na nga rin yung mga debate ng certain topic or issue about religions and belief kasi yung mga verses na ginagamit at nag kakaroon ng iba't ibang meaning in every situation and some verses naman ay magkasalungat ang meaning or yung gusto nilang ipahatid na mensahe lalo na yung new at tsaka old testament. well di mo naman sila masisi kasi iba iba yung mga author ng libro na nasa bibliya. pero bottom point kahit anong intindi mo sa bibliya di mo malalaman 100% ano talaga yung nasa isip ng nagsulat ng bibliya habang sinusulat ito. well i can argue na legit na sinulat yung bibliya hundred years before our time,TRUE, pero kung na retain ba natin 100% yung meaning nito? absolute INACCURATE na tayu jan.

Lastly halos lahat ng kakahantungan ng Debates magpatungkol sa legitimacy ng bibliya and it's meaning will end na sasabihin nila ay "di natin malalaman kung ano yung plano ng diyos ("in god"s will" kumbaga)" meaning yung pagiisip natin ay iba sa pag iisip ng diyos, well dito na dadating yung IRONY ng phrase na yan, kasi sa preaching palang they tend to explain gods words in their own tongue, na deep down dapat di naten alam ang gusto ng diyos pano naten maprepreach sa iba, well if own understanding lang naman ang gagamitin naten diyan, dapat maririnig naten yung mga salitang "in my own understanding" "in my opinion" " in my experience". lets face it LESS CONVINCING tsaka nawala yung AUTHORITY ng preaching if magiging OWN PERSPECTIVE ang pinagsasabi nila.

Comment your thoughts below, i'll try to explain my perspective to your post

So for example ts, if sinabi ng pastor/pari na salita ng diyos itong maririnig nyo(from bible na babasahin) mali yun?

Well gramatically speaking mali po siya, pero ask mo nalang malay naten kinausap talaga siya sa panaginip kaya yun ang pinipreach niya.

di naman naten masisi may AUTHORITY talaga kasi pag di sayu galing for example sabihin mong galing kay duterte pinagsasabi mo. edi seseryusihin ka talaga ng mga makikinig sayu.

Less Criticism naden kasi bat mo naman icricriticize yung yung preach niya if di naman siya nag sabi or di naman sa kanya galing, less ka nadin mag aask kung legitimate ba yung mga statements na sinasabi niya

kahit Translation nga din madami, King James Version (KJV), the New King James Version (NKJV), and the Revised Standard Version (RSV). There’s the Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB) and the English Standard Version (ESV) and the New Living Translation (NLT) and the New International Version (NIV).

Mismo meaning pa niyan iba iba. Bottomline po believe in what you want to believe not others want you to believe.
 
Im an atheist in belief, but practicing catholicism.

Tingin ko, in this era na mostly scientifically literate ang mga tao, religious teachings should not be a "belief" system anymore. Keeping it this way is creates a potential na maging extremists ang mga follower. Especially if they interpret the Bible literally.

It should be a philosophy or a set of principles and values set as a guide for the society. But not to the point it becomes dogma.

Technically kasi, ang adaptation ng greco-roman empire sa religion na ito is to make it a philosophy, but still compatible to pagan beliefs in their time.

The beauty of the bible really lie on the fact na maraming parts ito na puwedeng isubject sa multiple analysis, but it remains true(or at least has a good point). Tamang gamit lang ng reason and compassion, napakaraming life lessons ang matutunan.

So, there is no single way to interpret the bible. As long as it is not used to justify a wrongdoing or harbor an unhealthy emotion, it is not a bad interpretation.

Share ko dito mga post ko regarding some alternate interpretations ha:
Alternative View: Realizing Your Näkĕdness
Alternative View: Cain and Abel
Alternate View: Noah's Ark
Rational Creation Myth
The Rational Antichrist
Im sure dogmatic beliefs will reject these, but I think they are worth saying.

May point ka dun paps, kahit nga ngayon may mga believers paden ng greek gods (zeus, hades, poseidon) which halos na debunk na yung mythology nila.

Dadating din yung time na Christianity and all other religion will remain tradition and Myth to inspire, encourage and teach a lesson for the future generations. To open the doors to seek your life purpose, and not to become the door itself.
