“How do you know the Bible is not fiction?”

Much of it is. Jesus evens states they are parables.

But, since the importance of the Bible is in the ‘concepts’, and not the ‘details’, it doesn’t matter.

What matters is that one finds a way to GOD through what they interpret from the Bible.

All this argument of what the Bible ‘means’ is silly, because God made each person unique, and their ‘understanding’ with God is unique.

All those who try to force their Bible, their interpretation, their religion, their ‘rules’ on anyone else are missing the entire point of the Bible.

.....Jesus evens states they are parables.....

Jesus spoke to the masses in parables, however, privately he explained them to the disciples and we have benefit of both. Jesus also said I have foretold you all things, but He did NOT say that everybody would believe.

It is also Written that it is NOT given for all to understand, and the Heavenly Father will do the judging in regard to 'ignorant' or the 'willingly ignorant'.

Jesus used parables as a method of teaching.

All this argument of what the Bible ‘means’ is silly, because God made each person unique, and their ‘understanding’ with God is unique.

The Word of God is Jesus - HE IS THE LIVING WORD. God is THE SAME, yesterday, today and forever. There is only ONE Truth. Same God - Same Truth for all!
