Are there denominations that interpret the Bible correctly? (hell, myths, dogma)

You're reading a lot more into it than the words say. I try to avoid doing that because people would accuse me of trying to interpret the Bible the way I wanted it to read instead of what the words plainly say.
The only thing I can be sure about is that having sex with another man's wife is unacceptable. By custom at the time the Biblical writings were created, having sex between two consenting single people pretty much consummated their marriage, even if that wasn't their intent. I haven't seen that referenced in Biblical texts, nor have I seen a reference to widows or widowers having sex being forbidden.
That is not accurate.
Here is just one example:
Matthew 5:27-28
27 “You have heard that it was said to those of old,[a] ‘You shall not commit adultery.’[b] 28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Matthew 5:27-28
27 “You have heard that it was said to those of old,[a] ‘You shall not commit adultery.’[b] 28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
That would be the fundamentalist such as yourself, it's all you talk about.
There is a reason that this thread has picked up multiple posts rejecting God’s Word on homosexuality. And we all know why.
Prove "God" spoke.
To anyone. At any time.
About anything.
Just a smidge of proof.*
*Select parchment scribblings from long-dead, anonymous authors are - at the VERY best - dubious evidence. Far, far, oh-so-very-far, from adding up to anything resembling "proof." (Not that the Sum of Thingy=0 will read this because he makes good use of his Ignore function. Like his fellow fundie cowards, he hides from anyone presenting truth and reason. They can't face either. It hurtsss them. Like vampires cowering from the sun.)
So this is an example of an evangelical starting another LGBTQ hate thread?
No, actually. I just used an example from the Bible that I'm familiar with (because it's often talked about).
I want to know if there is a denomination (aside from Catholicism) that at least tries to interpret the whole Bible correctly.
