When the Bible says "God hears" something, this doesn't mean that he has ears and hears the sounds in the same way a person does. Naive people may read it that way, but not educated people.
The Bible is to be interpreted, and the non-naive interpretation is known to a minority of people, both Christian and atheist. Literalist sola scriptura Christianity has never been the position of people educated in theology.
The Bible claims that the jewish god is omnipotent.
So, we can conclude that the jewish god can shapeshift and take on many configurations.
Having human ears is not out of the question.
Interpret just means “no, this line does not mean X, it means Y.”
That’s fine and dandy, but meaning of the word omnipotent is static.
Note: I am not saying that the jewish god has human ears. I am saying that there are 2 guys: One guy believes that the jewish god has human ears right now and the other guy believes he does not have human ears right now. You both can argue all you want but neither of you are correct unless you can bring some evidence.
The bottom line is that evidence is what matters most.
Having human ears is not out of the question.
You have provided 0 evidence that right now, the jewish god does not have human ears.
