angel-cloud: Your question is ambiguous, but let me see if I can help. The Bible is the word of God - His word. All scripture is therefore God-breathed. If there were any books of the Bible that were "left out the first few times", they were not "left out" by God. God didn't "canonize" the Bible. He simply declared it to be the truth.
Finally, the Spirit did not "change its mind" since God is immutable. And the Spirit is not an "it"; He's one of the Persons of the Godhead.
2. Do you believe jonah really was able to live in a fish and survive?
Yup.
3. Is the entire bible the truth?
Yup.
4. If the entire bible is the truth, how do we not accept slavery anymore? How do we say homosexuality is ok?
First, who's the "we" who don't accept slavery anymore, and what kind of "slavery" are you talking about? Can't answer an unclear question. You need to clarify it.
Second, practiced homosexuality is not accepted by everyone, and God never has accepted it. He classifies it as an abomination.
5. Was the flood through out the entire earth? If so, do we have fossil evidence of a massive killing of everything?
The flood was worldwide. Don't know about the fossils. Do you?
