The bible is written to God's own! Lack of understanding means He not talking to you.

Though I will need to make my response to Pro's points brief. It is a Fallacy to believe that because places and names mentioned in any ancient text show evidence for the Stories Being True. If an Alien or some culture in the next 100 years finds a Spiderman comic, they may consider Spiderman as real because New York City and Manhattan as described within the comics Exist. Biblical scribes wrote from personal experiences and their knowledge of their surroundings in which some villages or cities and geological features already existed, just as the creator of Spiderman decided to use his knowledge of New York City within his comics, rather than create a fictitious environment for their characters as other comic writers have done. Many fiction writers have also used local features and villages in their work, such as the creator of the fictional film character Sweeney Todd, a barber who supposedly butchered homeless clients and sent them down a chute to a woman who turned them into pork pies for sale. Many believed the story to be real, since it was based in London on known streets with known features, which James Malcolm Rymer incorporated into the 1938 “Penny Dreadful” series of horror films. So to consider places and geological structures as evidence for Biblical Truths is entirely Fallacious. It only means the Authors knew of those places or landmarks, not that the events actually occurred. To confirm that events occurred, requires actual evidence for the Event, not just a place for the Event to occur. There is little if any evidence for any of the events within the Bible. Though back to the Topic: I cannot possibly consider that: “The bible is written to God's own! ” As the Bible, if dictated/inspired by God whispering/talking/communicating to man got it's description of the world and the universe so very very WRONG. Demonstrating absolutely no Omniscience in the Bible. The mistakes start at the very start of The Book Of Genesis and get markedly worse as one ventures further and further into the Bible. If we lived on a: 1: Circular Flat Earth (Genesis 11:1-9, Isaiah 40:22 and many more) 2: A solid dome (Firmament) supported by pillars, stretched over the Earth which has stars attached, that will fall to Earth if the pillars holding this Dome which supports Heaven are shaken. (1 Samuel 2:8 , Job 9:6 ,Job 26:11 ,Matthew 24:29 , Mark 13:25Revelation 6:13 , Revelation 12:4 , Revelation 9:1 ,and many many more). I don't want to be killed by a star falling on me, OUCH! 3: The Earth has Ends and Corners, what, firstly the Bible described it as a circle now it has corners. Does this mean the Earth is a Square-Circle? Hmmm! (Revelation 7:1, Isaiah 11:12) . http://www.tektonics.org... . http://www.youtube.com...http://www.youtube.com... An amusing source: . http://www.youtube.com...; If we lived on such a circle under such a dome, I might believe the Bible as truthful, and word of a God, since we don't live in such a world, the Bible is Inept and the God is not knowledgeable or Omniscient, if these were the whispers of a God the God is an Idiot. If an Omniscient creator cannot describe it's own creation to man accurately, how could it possibly be Omniscient. Many good scholars leave Christianity, because there are so many Mistakes In The Bible:Here is the story of one highly regarded Bible scholar leaving Christianity because of Errors within the Bible. . http://www.youtube.com... Here are some of the Gospel errors exposed by this highly regarded N. T. Scholar:. http://www.youtube.com...Noticed I included references to Revelations, the last Book, where the writers still believe that Stars are little lights that were glued to the Firmament (Heaven) stretched over the Flat Circular (with corners) Earth and that if the dome was shaken the stars would fall off this dome and land on Earth. These are Biblical Prophecies in the Last Book of The Bible, or the End Of Times Prophecies that Cannot Possibly Happen, because there is no knowledge of reality existing there as there should be if the book was dictated by an almighty, omnipotent, omniscient God. Thus the Bible is Inept and the prophecies that have been cited as from the Bible, were just wrongly associated with the Bible by delusional witnesses or occurred because they believed the prophecies so strongly that they deliberately invoked the event. Mostly the events are general and can be wrongly construed as being associated with Naive Biblical Prophecy when in fact they have absolutely nothing to do with the Biblical Prophecies. Nearly all the claims in the past concerning Biblical Accuracy have been the result of severe cases of Foundational Bias (Confirmation Bias) Fallacies. Essentially, the knowledge inside the Bible (Earth as a square circle) is mostly nonsense and certainly not from an omniscient God. Thus, considering the Gross discrepancies and erroneous concepts of reality within the Bible, it is Impossible to ever believe that The Bible Is Written to God's Own. Thus if such a God wanted to talk to me, I will hang up the telephone or direct God to my answering machine and never reply! Thanks again Pro and Good Luck!
