How a Christian uses the Bible
The word of God - contains teachings which most Christians follow to lead the life God wanted
Teachings of Jesus - Decisions of how to live Eg parable of the good samaritan and the golden rule
The life of Jesus - Son of God, perfect human (all about his death and resurrection)
The decalogue - 10 commandments, Gods teachings on how you should behave Eg 'Do not murder' 'Do not steal' 'Respect your parents'
Different ways to view the Bible
Literal word of God - Following the 10 commandments and the golden rule (Everything is taken literally from the Bible)
Interperated word of God - Somethings from the older writings in the bible (about being gay and resting on sundays) are interperated
For the Church to study and teach - Some catholics leave the Church to tell them what the Bible means so they put the authority of the Church is put above the Bible
