You assume God would record His word in such a way that you would not have to think about it to get its complete meaning, which means you assume that you and God think alike, or at least on the same wave length. Never mind the generation of people recording his word in this way would alienate.I assume the same God that gave me the very ability to communicate would understand some of the basic elements of good communication, one of which is clarity. And since this Word of God is written for the entire world, such a universal objective should be reflected in the communication. Both qualities are not consistent with the requirement to get a doctorate in ancient Hebrew culture to understand this communication. You apparently have a lower standard of what the Word of God should be like.
It never ceases to amaze me how quickly Christians transition from "Word of God" to "ah, whaddaya want?" as soon as you begin discussing flaws in this supposed divine communication.
