My personal Bible Study

Yes, I R Christian, I R proud of it.
Now, I'm not exactly a biblically knowledgeable Christian, I read the Bible of course, have it on my bedside table, read it, etc.
I'm only going to respond to the part about Revelations being interpretted so literally...
The Bible is full of metaphors, similies, parables, etc, Jesus himself explained most of his lessons in parables. The book of Revelations is not to be interpretted so literally, a dragon isn't going to rise up out of the sea, a literal beast isn't going to rise up with 666 on it's forehead, nein! The beast is considered to be Satan himself, or a human possessed by Satan. And mind you, that site is wrong. 144,000, 12,000 each from the twelve tribes of Israel, Dan, Benjamin, Judah, etc. The site said 140,000, someone needs their facts right.
Time to pull out my trusty King James. =D

Eh, just a number. And as was said at the beginning of the topic, metaphors arn't considered, this discussion is interpreting everything literally.

Thing about people saying parts of it are metaphors etc... How do you know what parts are metaphors? You just see something that is obviously never going to happen or is total crap and just say "Oh, it's a metaphor." Bull{expletive hax0rd by Cspace}, you either interpret it all as literal or all of it as a metaphor.
I really do not like the Judeo-Christian religions :[

Except that the Bible is a collection of individual books — related, but separate.
Those who will remember, will speak fondly of the warm morning breeze.

In addition to that, there are several other books which didn't make it into the bible. This was not by some divine will, but by humans hands that these equally relevant books were discarded. The bible is undoubtably a fabrication of men. As for revelations, that cannot be interprited literally. It was written as a form of code, but has taken on new meaning as people have reinterprited it over and over again.
