The Bible is like an onion - there are layers and layers of understanding.
There is the literal interpretation -
the historical -
the prophetical -
the new age-
the spiritual-
the esoteric-
the metaphysical-
the mystical-
and several other modalities of interpretation based upon what church system one is immersed in.
Many people have tried to change what the Bible states, but in the realm of Spirit the meaning never changes - but one must be in a spiritual state to understand this - for "the natural man receives NOT the things of God." Hence the reason for all the misunderstanding concerning the Bible, as it can be used for both good and evil.
