The creator of the universe has given us, in the bible, the instruction manual for achieving everlasting life with him and Eden in this earthly life. He has also given us the responsibility to follow the manual. When we follow it faithfully to the best of our understanding, we become agents of the ultimate authority and thereby may exercise dominion over all things here below. That is awesome power and it comes with great responsibility.
Humbly,

The Purpose of the Bible
Externally, the Bible is a collection of inspired documents written by men of all kinds, in all sorts of circumstances, and over hundreds of years of time. The documents are seldom originals, but redactions and compilations of older fragments; and the names of the actual writers are seldom known for certain. This, however, does not affect the spiritual purpose of the Bible. The book, as we have it, is inexhaustible reservoir of spiritual Truth, compiled under divine inspiration, and the actual route by which it reached its present form does not matter.
