The Book of Life

                                                                                         Not all the stories in the Bible are factual. Some are considered symbolic. They may contain truths but there are also parts that mention symbolisms. It is noted that during the earlier times Before Christ, there is no paper and pen invented yet. This makes every story at that time, delivered only by word of mouth. When the scriptures were made, this was the only time when stories before hand were ever put in writing. So, the reality on how the stories traveled from one person to another has its variations. Amidst all these, the Bible is still considered as the best book ever written.
