There are no specific number of pages , because the pages differ from bible to bible as there are different versions and types of bible.
One can explore and understand the various interpretations of the Bible by studying different theological perspectives, historical contexts, and literary analysis. Three different perspectives on interpreting its teachings are literal interpretation, allegorical interpretation, and contextual interpretation.
Yes, the Bible is open to interpretation as different individuals and religious groups may interpret its teachings and messages in various ways based on their beliefs, traditions, and understanding of the text.
No, quite the opposite as many different interpretations have begun many different churches in Christianity - as well as Judaism.
There is much dispute amongst scholars in interpreting the bible's content. There is nothing in the bible attributed to God which, in every reasonable interpretation, is objectively wrong. (I am only familiar with the Old Testament, and cannot speak for other bibles.)

There is not a single person, but the city of Sodom and Gomorrah, which according to Christian interpretation, God destroyed because homosexuality is an "abomination" to God (Jewish interpretation is completely different).
OpinionOne reason that some prefer to interpret the Bible for readers, is that they can give their own interpretation to various passages, to influence the beliefs of the faithful. Thus, a Catholic interpretation may be very different from that of an Episcopalian interpretation, and both could be different from that of a Jehovah's Witness or a Morman. When someone explains a passage just as it would be read without interpretation, that person is often heavily criticised as interfering in theology. For this reason, some say that the Bible should not be read at all by those without faith.
Denominations are separated by faith and interpretation of what the Bible says. In some cases, who is in control. None of this should be.
