And I've seen nothing from you that would make me believe that you ever even attempt to view the Bible outside its own self-referential loop. Circular reasoning and unsupported assertions are all you appear to have. People who view everything from inside the loop and people who don't will inevitably have different ideas about what "understanding the Bible" means.
What exactly am I to look at outside a book that is based on a spiritual relationship with God, it's not intended to be a complete book of history nor science, it actually opposes some of what we understand in the physical world, it's a book about how God planed and plans to deal with mankind.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
