While it’s not necessary, I do wish people, whether using AI or not, would examine their own beliefs and knowledge on most important subjects and topics. It would shows real interest and intellectual accountability.    
*“The Bible is a translated book of stories... not the Word of God”*
  
Translation does not equal corruption.  
The Bible documents God’s interactions with humanity across more than 1,500 years of writing and 3,500 years of history. It describes the condition of humanity and the world, and where it is  headed.  
  
What have the dead atheists and philosophers given us in comparison? Marxism, radical gender theory, endless academic navel-gazing, and utopias?:)  
  
*“If it were God’s perfect Word, it would be written in perfect, glorious, unreal language”*
  
Let’s ignore the fact that God chose to create humanity and interact with us using ordinary human language and everyday earthly realities. Let’s also ignore the incarnation of God’s own Son becoming fully human, learning the Scriptures, and using them to testify about Himself... Apparently humans are never satisfied… we always want something more spectacular:)  
  
*“God didn’t write a book. Jesus didn’t write a book.”*  
  
God wrote the Ten Commandments, I thought that might be interesting to remember:  
Exodus 31:18 (NIV)  
 “When the Lord finished speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two tablets of the covenant law, the tablets of stone written by the finger of God.”  
  
"All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness."  
  
Jesus also treated Scripture as authoritative when He resisted Satan by repeatedly saying “It is written…”   
Jesus finally said: ‘For it is written: “Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.”’ (Matthew 4:10, quoting Deuteronomy 6:13). That ended the temptations.”  
  
2 Peter 1:20-21:  
"Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit."  
  
*“Corrupted translated words of highly effeminate men who were paid”*  
  
Are you sure about that, care to elaborate?:)  
Feels like personal disdain for the biblical authors more than reasoned critique.  
   
The Bible is an open book, and I’m not making any extra claims about it. But if it is not reliable, what should people use instead as a foundation for truth, morality, and meaning?  What is your better source of guidance for life?

Hello Sonatime,  
  
As always, I appreciate the opportunity to share what I understand as knowledge/truth in patterns that are not always obvious to others.  
  
In saying as much, perhaps one of our main net positives is our ability to present our personal experiences and ideas in a way that offers insights into complex patterns.  
  
Regardless of our personal views, certain patterns emerge in communication that can be less than optimal....at times.  
One such pattern is the 'habit' of using extreme/hyperbolic verbiage/language when it is not appropriate...whether intended for humor or not.  
  
To that point, the usage of extremes....no one, everyone, always, never.....'should' be used with great care; yet, we can see examples of such in our own writing.  
  
*Ah, yes. So humans have **no** free will and **no** agency… except when they actively choose to rebel against God in the Garden of Eden, and then the entire nation of Israel spends centuries doing the exact same thing. But sure, let’s pretend there’s no free will or choice involved.*    
  
In my previous post, I made this point explicit:  
  
*"Humans are never satisfied as God is a complete failure?"*  
You said *humans are never satisfied..*....never.  
So I countered with an equally absurd rejoinder  
*God is a **complete** failure?*  
Humans are often satisfied, and if God exists at all, he is not a complete failure.  
Yes?  
  
While I tend to share my points embedded in subtle humor, the language used is often precise...for a good reason.  If however, you notice a weakness in my grammatical armor then we might have a case for...talking past each other.  
However, if we just look at the language we use, we might see that we are not talking past each other, but avoiding being as honest as we can.  
Not saying we are outright and intentionally being dishonest, but perhaps we are not being as honest as we could.  
The usage of hyperbolic language is often excessive and not too very accurate.  
But then to use that language to suggest hyperbolic patterns....is also less than optimal.  
  
*Grateful for being alive?   Nah… much better to blame God for **everything, everywhere.***
Humans are certainly capable of complex emotions, and having more than one of them at the same time....and variable as the weather...no?  
Versus  
*Humans are* **never** *satisfied.*  
  
Accuracy is my goal*.*

*I don’t think the Bible has low standards, it simply explains a reality you may not agree with, understand, or like.*
  
The Bible does not simply explain anything....let alone reality.  
It does not explain a reality that I may not agree with, understand, or like.  
The Bible attempts to explain metaphysical properties...not physical reality.  
It is not a science book....yes?  
It is not attempting to explain reality....it is attempting to demonstrate a pattern of God that it would be wise for us to be aware/wary of.  
  
The Bible is full of imperfect people and imperfect gods.  
We can make of that what we will.  
And your insights on this topic have always been gratefully appreciated.  
Thank you for the time and energy that it takes to compose these threads....you are doing good work.  Thank you.  
Your efforts to share your faith is admirable....and your gifted insights make it a pleasure to be a part of the conversation.  
  
Maranatha Brother Sonatime😇
