Then consider the fact that scriptures spanning time and geographic region teach the same core messages and structures with only minor greed laden discrepancies by man. Then observe all the geographic man made evidence that is strewn across the globe at all different ancient times and places.
So everyone who has ever talked about God in the past was legit, because you say so? Or you're saying "they can't all be wrong"? No smoke without fire? I really don't know what you're saying.
I have no idea how you have obtained the truth value of anything anyone has ever said or written about "God".
You just said they didn't lie, and I said whether or not they were lying is irrelevant to the truth.
Even with all scientific understanding we have today, people get stuff wrong all the time and have any number of irrational beliefs. Just think what garbage people would have believed thousands of years ago when they didn't know squat. Everything would have seemed like "God" to them.
To say that all ancients where dumb because written word was somewhat new is not really accurate to me. They were different. Some ways better perhaps. Some ways, worse.
Look at Nicola Tesla and Albert Einstein. They weren't the same as the general mass. But they weren't dumb. In fact; their lack of social function says something for the other functions of an individual and significance and, or purpose.
Faith in selfless Unity for Good.
