As you have pointed out before, the Bible can be used to say anything we want it to say.
Why would God need to prove himself to mere humans?
I tend to agree but obviously them what wrote the book did not agree. They have God demanding that you not put any other gods before her and claiming she was a jealous god.
Phat writes:
Remember we are talking of a Creator of all seen and unseen...a Being who is all powerful and all knowing. Not some bumbling character in a book that is learning how to be a god.
So you no longer talking about the God of the Bible?
Phat writes:
Or is that how you as a teacher choose to present the Deity?
Phat, I didn't write any of the Bible stories. I hope I could have done much better.
As a teacher I tried to help my students learn how to think critically and recognize myth, fantasy, folktales and fables; to learn how to ready the Bible, to understand that the Gods in the Bible were NOT GOD but rather the constructs of other humans.
