Problem: This is turning into a general Bible literalism topic
when the fake world looks real to you its not his fault, you presume its real when he never said it is!
Let me change this to a variation:
When the fake WORD looks real to you, it's not God's fault, you presume it's real when he never said it is! Yes, I mean word there, not world.
You seem to be saying something along the lines of "The reality of the world could be a illusion, while the word (aka the Bible), a collection of words, is reality.
So, why might not your reading of the Bible's meaning be the illusion?
Say, you're driving down a road and you're approaching a river. Your road map indicates there's a bridge across the river, but you do not see any bridge in front of you, but rather only river. Are you going to continue to drive, thinking "the map says there's a bridge there, therefore there must be a bridge there"?

There is a new "The Bible was NOT man made, it was Godly made" topic
The Bible was NOT man made, it was Godly madeThe Bible was NOT man made, it was Godly made.
Amazingly enough, it got real fast promotion out of the "Proposed New Topics" forum. I suggest you, me, Jar, and (?) continue the discussion there.
