Is the bible all perfect?

So I'm fucked, you're saying? That sounds like a good system. Sorry I wasn't arbitrarily chosen by you, God.

I have an alternative explanation: the only people who get truth from the bible are the people who have already been persuaded it is true.

Well, since universal salvation is the truth clearly expressed in the Bible (yet only perceived by those whom the Lord wills to perceive), no one is "fucked."

You say arbitrarily as though that is truth, yet nowhere does the Bible say that people are chosen in such a way. Look at the apostle Paul, for instance. He was a Pharisee, "blameless" by the law and persecuting Christians, even to the point of standing in approval as Stephen was martyred by stoning. The Lord chose Paul not because he was righteous, but because of his background as a Jew and enemy of Christ.

Yes everyone is fucked except for those who follow it. Out of the other hundreds and possibly thousands religions and cults those people wont be going to heaven because they never heard or have any idea of yaweh or jesus. Personally i gave up on my theology because it didn't make any sense because you read the bible to many times that is what is going to happen to you. By that i am going to hell since you know i turned away from the faith.
