Seriously? 2,000 years of continuously diverging opinion about "interpretation" isn't enough time to sort it out?

  There is a cute saying: Everybody is entitled to their own opinion but not to their own facts.

  Why is that true? Because facts are indisputable matches to reality.

  In the 4th century B.C.E. a geometric book was compiled by Euclid. It can still be found in libraries across the planet.

  There is no debate among geometry professors as to the function of the axioms and corollaries.

  The demonstrations with a simple compass and straight edge are the legacy of the ages.

  But, the Bible has produced debate from the get-go.

  In Christianity alone, there are 40,000 differences of opinion reflected in denominations.

  Why? None of these opinions are verifiable! You cannot TEST the assertions or axioms by reality.

  A lump of silly putty can be pulled, stretched and reformed an infinite variety of ways.

  The Bible is silly putty.

  To add to Terry's comment

  and these individual select groups like the WTS. make up their own interpretations themselves and

  self describe them as faithfully truer interpretations over other religious groups under their own intensional will and endeavor.

  .

  The WTS of course utilized its own publishing company to gain public support for their own self derived interpretations.

  The bible is really an open book of writings that anyone can draw up their own interpretations unto themselves,

  how far they are willing to go with these interpretations is solely up to them.

  .

  Unfortunately for the public they don't see that the bible is mostly contrived fictional story telling mostly done so to make

  certain thought of gods relevant and appealing toward humanity and toward the men who originally scribed the writings.
