What I strive to do is look at them in the context of how, when and where they were written, include what we can definitely observe and have evidence for and try to resolve that to be as close to the truth as my fallible and non-divine mind will allow. I will not close my ears and eyes to inconvenient evidence, just so I can continue in a flawed belief. Otherwise, you're just another flat-earther, irrelevant and no closer to truth and God.
I accept I may be wrong, exactly as I say that we all are fallible, even the authors of the Bible. It concerns me when people insist there is no possibility that they or their theories could be wrong in ANY way. Not just the arrogance of that position but more the atrocities people commit when they are THAT certain, especially on religious matters!
Please explain what atrocities I've committed, the difference between us is that you do not believe that scripture is divinely inspired and I do. So we should say that we agree to disagree. So why do you think I believe that the earth is flat or where the scriptures say it's flat, be careful know, because I do not believe that you can show me. I am certain that God is who He says He is and I'm certain that He exist, are you absolutely certain. I'm also certain that the Bible is the authentic Word of God.

I interpret it as a disgusting book of bullshit. Maybe I'm the one who has it right... considering the evidence behind my interpretations, I think that there is a better chance that I am right, and you're just plain wrong.
We'll see shortly.
What exactly do you mean by that?
Life's short and everyone will soon know the answers, as for me I already do, no doubts and no worries.
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.
