stocwach;
All you seem to do is try to find fault with the Bible and expect that the Bible should simply be perfectly easy to interpret and understand.
And what is wrong with that? Why is god playing games?
Don't you realize your persona was foretold in the Bible?
No, the writers of the Bible (who knew they were making it up) put in lines of text that would critisize people who said anything against their illogical writings, as a form of defence against people unreasonable enough to require logic, justice, and proof.
And don't you also realize that the Bible you envision would require no faith whatsoever?
Faith with out works is dead. When god shows us the works, and proves that they're his, then we'll have faith. Until then, faith is dead, and god is buried with him. What is the problem with god being as provable constant and unarguable as gravity? People LIVES are. allegedly on the line here, and you think it is reasonable to just 'have faith'? SOd that! Proof is what my allegedy god-given human nature demands, and it's not what I get as far as god is concerned.
The bible in twelve words;
Old Testament; Don't piss-off god.
New Testament; Be nice to people.
