The bible is 100% truth, not necessarily 100% factual or literal. One must understand the vast amount of literary forms the bible contains. The Story of creation - myth full of symbolism; Abraham - legend; Acts - historical; (plus parables, lamentations, etc.). It is also built predominantly on oral histories.

One has to work hard to get to God’s truth (sometimes) - but is in there and is inviolate.

One does not have to work hard at all to get to God’s truth. It is there is plain wording for all to see and understand.

You must fancy yourself much wiser than God to be able to discern which parts of His word you think are true and which have hidden truth. You are so smart!!
