I believe the bible uses metaphor, symbols, allegory, sarcasm, language codes, number codes, changing perspectives such as first person view point, second person view point, third person viewpoint, as well as figures of speech and time changes, such as having books that are meant to be read backwards and not forwards etc… I don’t know why God chose to write a bible that many do not understand right away, but I trust God is wise and had an intelligent reason for writing it the way that it is.

First of all it's not god who wrote the bible but some random people who are good in literature and intelligent in making things up with their great imaginations and stories, and second of all in my point of view bible is not as holy as you think cause god killed more people than satan so there's no need to follow all the things that had said by god in bible. And we don't need any god to revamp this bible or whatever it's just our common sense what to follow and what not. It doesn't matter if we improve some laws in bible coz the same religious toxic believes will stay within us until we die. And the world will end before we get conscious about the god existence. If ever we improvised the bible by admitting that the previous bible verses are wrong and the god is on the wrong side too then a question will rise on the existence of god. and there's no way for the religious antics to prove that god is real. Coz we can't prove something that doesn't exist.
I believe the Bible as it was written for the People was very Clear and Precise... after many translations and different Religious influences... things got muddled...
The "Old Testament" is simply a translation if the Holy Book from the Jewish tradition. https://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo/aid/63255/jewish/The-Bible-with-Rashi.htm and has been handed down for many, many... centuries and always maintained the original text, very carefully transcribed by scholars... Never changing a comma, period or word... God's WORD is law Eternal Law
How about that one time Jesus talked about treating foreigners with kindness or the 53 different times Jesus talked about how wealth is the root of evil/blinds you from faith. Oh wait, there’s 2 verses that can be interpreted as anti gay, so we’ll go with that

I'm not sure if the invisible guy in the sky should exactly do anything about the holy book here on Earth. I'm sure he has better things to do like creating universes and stuff
Nope. He has it right. Love God with your whole heart, soul, mind, strength and your neighbor as yourself. Works in every situation.
God cannot bend the laws He put in place for anyone. We are not deserving of that. What's written has been written. What's true is God. God wrote the Bible for a reason. It is to show He is God, and there is no other. But, us, confront the all-knowing God to revamp perfection?
I believe he already did :)
Chrisianity - Real vs Fake"God" should just get rid of the whole thing and start all over again (although Ecclesiastes isn't too bad).
Oh please, Advisor of your Creator…which ones are these? Can you update your question with those in the written portion below it please?
Or maybe humans should stop being so selfish and ignorant.
lol. Imagine that.Why?
If there is a god that guides those writers before, it would not matter.
People will cherry pick verses that suit them.That was the new testament.
You sleeping, kiddo?Bible says this will happen to you if you do
He did so?
Jesus had been visiting us for the update.Well just go to a police station or courthouse check out the laws then open up the Bible and find the 10 commandments. You will find out laws come from that. So God already did
I think God should date a cute girl from the South aw yeaaa
No. God don't make mistakes. The laws of God are perfect. Needs no revision at all.
Pretty bold of you to question his Laws of Existential Balance.
God didn’t write them, some people did.
