the so fallible Bible

[Godscreated]

---

I've said this before.

If there was only one true God, why would he not spread his word to every corner of the Earth so that despite language and culture, his word would be infallible to whoever read it, whenever they did. He is omnipotent, remember, a factor that Christians on this forum seem to forget again and again. Free will? Hogwash. Ifgiving up my free will could save someone's life, I'd throw it away. There are more important things than free will. God would know this. He is omniscient, another factor Christians don't grasp. He would know that humans would rather have love instead of free will, and when you see how much pain and suffering there is in this world, despite of faith in God, he either doesn't care, or doesn't exist.

I choose the latter. No all-knowing, all-powerful, all-loving being could let the world be as it is today, even for the sake of free will, which is of little value when put to the test.

You can't give up something like free will, Paul said he would give his salvation up to save all others, yet he stated that would be impossible and why, because free will can't be given up. I'm sure Paul knows God far better than you, actually I believe I know what Paul's saying better than you do, try as you may you are stuck with your free will.

What kind of free will argument can anyone make to explain all the starving children in Ethiopia being allowed to suffer when there's an all-loving god looking over them?

It is the spiritual needs God's concerned about, the world has made the problem of starving children and it's our responsibility to do something about it. There is enough money in the richer counties in this world to end all hunger, what are you doing to help?

Only God is perfect, is the bible God? Then why should it be perfect?

How does a perfect entity create an imperfect product? It indicates that the perfect entity was somehow incapable, or unknowing of how to do it perfectly, which only means it wasn't perfect to begin with.

I can't believe you are still hung up on this, as much as this has been discussed. God created a perfect universe and free will had to be a part of that perfection, free will is actually a strength and not a weakness as many look at it. Man turned it into his own weakness as an excuse to live a life separate from God, and that my friend is what happened to the perfect creation God turned over to man. Yes man was given a perfect gift and screwed it up.
