[... What would God, a real God, need with a book?.. Being GOD?.. ..]

Course, you Know, that the Torah in the beginning was memorized by Rabbis "God books" were looked down on.. it was deemed not a good thing to even speak let alone WRITE Gods name.. or anything else of God..

By thirteen a boy was expected to have memorized the Torah(first 5 books) completely.. as much as he could..

That slowly changed but remnants of that idea you can still find in Judaism.. somewhat..

Back to the question.. A real God does not need a book, any book.. God is NOT creating an organization with bylaws he is creating a family with members in particular.. its ..NOT..what you BELIEVE that counts it is Who you ARE that counts(book of life)..

You are on a roll today, hosepipe!

Truly, when we read everything as a whole from Genesis to Revelation it is only obvious that Jesus Christ was not enfleshed to start a religion but rather to gather the family.

He is the First Cause and the Final Cause. The Alpha and the Omega.

Everything moves towards that Final Cause, that kingdom come, that new heaven and earth in which we are a family.

Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all [things] he might have the preeminence. For it pleased [the Father] that in him should all fulness dwell; And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, [I say], whether [they be] things in earth, or things in heaven.– Col 1:15-20
