I'm afraid it has to be one way or the other, can't have it both ways.
Quote:I just don't get why from this perspective, God would not reveal more books or if he would end the books, would make sure it's protected from corruption.
Of course, it would be important for infallible interpreters of the book to safeguard it from misinterpretation, but in case people follow their desires, then the book should be written in a way that it safeguards it's own verses and God would be able to do that.
Also, while an infallible representative of God is to be followed absolutely, it still follows people during and after his time can attribute many falsehoods to that person.
The book of God would be a way for God to make sure that many of the vital important things are not corrupted but remain in safeguarded due to the book.
It would also be a way for humans to know those who God appointed even if people deviated from those he appointed.
If there's anything truthful about this claim of any words coming from god or his said appointees, then it begs the question which is never answered, for which no answer is ever forthrightly attempted, and therefore never will be answered without the most logical conclusion which atheists have arrived at (God is probably nonexistent). That question is: Why do you really think such a powerful god needs human appointees to communicate his current thoughts, and can't even write his own books?
Mr. Hanky loves you!
