There were several questions about the Bible itself:
Is the Bible actually the word of God or is it the word of man as interpretation of God?
The Bible is too long and too boring to actually read, do I have to?
Do you believe everything in the Bible?
To answer the first question, yes, the Bible is the actual word of God. All scripture is God breathed and I believe it to my core that it is the inspired, inerrant word of God. Which also kind of answers the third question, I do believe everything that is in the Bible... to a degree. Yes parts of the Bible were definitely written to a certain group of people, in a certain context, and at a certain time. Does that negate the Truth of the Bible in any way? Absolutely not! The Bible is a guide for life and I believe if it is studied you will find the answer to any question you may have.
Do you have to read the Bible? I guess not. Do I recommend reading it? More than anything else I would recommend that you read the Bible. It is meant to light the way on this rocky and dangerous path we call life. I would suggest trying out different translations until you find one that is less "boring."
