text: Excellent question! A lot of the time, whatever a persons religion, they will interpret the bible their own way(or whichever way they are told). With reference to your point about not writing anything else, there have been many adaptations of and additions to the bible during the latter years, the only one I can currently think of is the Mormons. Someone claimed to have had more information from God, which he wrote as an adaptation of a current bible. Some people won't believe in anything they have never seen if it doens't say it's true in the bible. Others are more open minded.
