Your posts here make clear that you believe the Bible is the word of God, but what evidence do you have? We do have a little evidence for some authorship, since most of the Pauline epistles are believed to have been written by Paul, but Paul isn't God. I'm not aware of any evidence that God wrote any of the books of the Bible.
Let's just grant for the sake of discussion that God exists. What evidence do you have that God wrote anything in the Bible?
My belief in the Bible as being the word of God is mainly a matter of faith, so my claim is not something that I can support at this moment with the kind of evidence you would require to acknowledge it
However I do know there's plenty of evidence around. All universe, living and not living things testify of the existence of God, things didn't just happened the way evolutionists think. There's intelligent design. The geological record is more related to the universal flood described in Genesis than the idea of the old earth. Prophecies in Daniel and Revelation seem to be taking place today....
I know you don't believe in anything of this and think that mainstream scientist have everything figured out. But this is my faith and I'm sure I'm doing well. I don't have much knowledge about this things that I present as evidence, but I now there are creationist scientists (even if you wouldn't call them scientists) working in understanding our universe from a biblical perspective
Now while the Bible may have not been physically written by God, it was revealed, which give it the same value. The texts there were revealed by God to Moses, Paul and the prophets. And not, I don't have evidence of that either, but I do choose to believe it

What baffles me is how people seem to think that God is only loving when the Bible clearly shows his character to be very different.
It baffles me how you seem to think that God is only an evil monster when the Bible clearly shows His character to be very different
