You didn't address anything above, you simply offered more of your own competing ideology. Try harder.
1-The Biblical God cannot lie.
The Bible is the word(s) of God.
2-If the Biblical God cannot lie, then the words of the Biblical God are true.
Let me help you. 1 and 2 squeeze the middle as though it belonged or could modify the others. It can't. All three can be true (and are - to muslims no less-) but it won't lead to the conclusion you want. If 1......even if there were no bible..then 2 could be true. Can you take it from there? Do you see what you've done?
(this leaving out the obvious possibility that 1 and the middle could be true, while 2 is false - god might simply be mistaken - not lying - of course)
