He did this on the cross for your sins and If you accept His sacrifice He will also Give yo the Holy Spirit as a down payment. He want to give you amazing things but I find that you just want to play around in the dirt. You can have so much more but you settle for only what you can do. You stunt your thinking by hiding behind "human knowledge and wisdom".
Why did this celestial being decide that sacrificing himself unto himself was the best way to help mankind? I think, like, medical science would've been much more helpful, or at least some instructions on basic hygiene? Maybe a little astronomy? Please? Or at the very least, God could've avoided filling the scriptures with scientific inaccuracies? Or was that the fault of humans, and not God? If it's all down human error, what else is wrong? Can any of it be trusted?
God is all good and just. When we do our own thing as people we sin against God. Even what we see as harmless is truly disruptive and wrong. The proper response for a just God would be to punish us. Since God is the most valuable being in existence then our sin against Him is great. You can see sin like defacing a master piece. You have to pay a high price in order to rectify what you have done. So if you go against God, the most supreme being, you can not pay that price. So since God is a merciful God He sent His Son to pay the price for you. He died on the cross and rose for the sins you committed. All so that you will be able to enter into His joy. That is why He calls you to repent and believe, not mental assent but put your full faith in Him.
As with all books and document you should read them within the context they were written. The bible isn't a science book it is a book about God and he is supernatural. The bible does talk about hygiene. There are not errors in the bible that change the essential message of the bible.
