Regarding interpretations of the Bible...there are a great many of those. It depends on which Christians you talk to about it. Jehovah's Witnesses, for example, do not believe Jesus was crucified on a cross! They think he was impaled on a wooden stake. If you read their Bible, you will find that the ancient writings (whether in Greek or Hebrew) have been translated by the elders of the Jehovah's Witnesses in such a way that there is no mention of Christ being crucified, but there is mention of him being "impaled"...on a stake. They also do not believe at all in the Trinity, but they do believe Jesus died as a ransom for the sins of humanity.

This is quite unusual. But the JV's are just as sure their translation is correct as any other Christians are. And I'm sure they are quite sincere in their belief.

Then there is also much evidence that the original Bible writings were edited and changed by the bishops in Constantinople. They edited out the stuff they didn't like and put in new stuff, and they had various political reasons for doing so.

Accordingly, the modern Bible is neither complete nor is it an entirely accurate translation of the original writings.

If one directly experiences something profoundly spiritual, however, (and I know people who have...) that weighs a lot stronger than a 2,000-year-old bunch of edited books and learned doctrine, let me tell you! Nothing speaks more powerfully to a person's core beliefs than direct experience.
