I think the problem may be with interpreting. Many go wrong not because The Bible says one thing but they want another. It's been that problem from the very beginning we want what we are told is not good for us. We would like to feel we have the right to debate topics which we do not have the qualifications to discuss. To me a simple point is we wish to interpret what it is to take a life and end it but can we give it back? So why do we feel we have the right to discuss the question? Because we wish to impose our views or avoid some consequences for our actions. Therefore I'll interpret what something says to justify what I want instead of doing what is right. We will take land if it's for the greater good. Well what if the mall or building is run by incompetent people or the highway adds to pollution is that really for the greater good or just what some unqualified person thought at the time? So many things in the Bible do not need explaining yet people can't or won't follow them why jump to controversial items that we feel need interpreting. Let's start with the easy get those right then move on to the hard.

How do you explain scripture out the Bible?

AnswerWhen the Bible makes sense literally, it can be explained literally. Whenever it does not make sense literally, it can be explained allegorically, symbolically or spiritually. It depends on your interpretation of the Bible and how important you believe it is to project the Bible as an inerrant history.Many, for example, explain the creation stories symbolically. Others may explain the passage, where Jesus cursed the fig tree for not bearing fruit out of season, as being an allegory.
