However, I don't believe it was orally retold and transcribed by MEN 100% accurately and truthfully over the several millenia that passed.

God, then, is a failure. He could see to the ‘several millenia’ as easily as anywhere else in Time. The Word is less than useless if it is not THE WORD

[varyouga]

“He could see to the ‘several millenia’ as easily as anywhere else in Time.”

I agree with that but believe He is above the limitations of man-made words.

Words or books are all highly simplified interpretations by men who have seen glimpses of what lies beyond.

I do believe many of the core teachings of the Bible are true but it is all man-made interpretation to help us understand these teachings.

There can be no such thing as “God's Word” condensed into a book for He is beyond what can be written in words.

THE WORD simply exists all around us. The Universe itself and EVERYTHING in it is THE WORD. We can only comprehend a fraction of one drop in this ocean. God is NO FAILURE. We are the failure for thinking all the teachings of God's Universe can be condensed into a book.
