Beryl, I find fault lies with the authors of the bible as God's word....they've attributed many things to God that are highly unlikely and some obviously blatant lies, even by their own admission....
For example, consider the killing events surrounding the writing of the commandments in stone on Mt. Sinai....In Moses OWN words, he alleges that *GOD* was angry and wanted to slay the Isrealites for worshipping a carved image, but that he, Moses, reasoned with God and talked God out of his anger....THEN Moses says he, himself, proceeded to come down from the mountain (after allegedly having talked God out of being angry and killing the Isrealites) and *MOSES* then became angry with the Isrealites and orders them killed anyway, saying all the while that *GOD* ordered them to be slain......go figure
God is not accurately to be found in a book.
