how can i interpret the bible better?
user
You’re really asking me to summarize the theology of Christianity in general, right?  Is that something you really need?
assistant
well, no, i want to interpret the bible when i read it
user
I am able to summarize the literal text, which is all the words of the Bible in the King James version, and summarize the theology and history of the Bible.  Which is not at all the same thing as interpreting the Bible.  Interpreting the Bible is a very human process, and requires some historical and theological knowledge of the Bible, and especially of the context in which it was written, and a degree of theological knowledge of the Bible itself.

If you would like, I can guide you in some of the basics of Bible study.
