The teaching of the Bible is a key in understanding the way by which a person obtains salvation.
The state should not use its authority to promote any particular religious belief. It should allow people practice their own religious convictions.
There are different understandings about the Bible's authority in our lives. The task of every believer is to use different Bible translations and commentaries in order to discover the word of God.
