A lack of knowledge? You cannot prove god exists. You cannot, yet you talk about a lack of knowledge. The bible spanned 900 years. You were not there to see it compiled, nor was anyone on this forum. But again you talk about knowledge. True knowledge is knowing that you know nothing at all, and in the case of the bible and christianity, this rings especially true. You quote the time of abraham but you weren't there. You can't plausible explain why the quran tells the story of ismael, then how the christian bible tells the same story, with issac and abraham of course. How can you say some people are not reading scripture correctly - this implies that you sir are reading it correctly and that is a bold assumption - how do you know that the people you claim are interpreting the bible wrong are actually the ones who have it right?? You tell yourself you are following gods teachings and therefore everyone else who doesnt see the bible how you do is wrong.
Surely god can change if he wants to - he is afterall an all powerful supernatural being. Why a solid knowledge of the verses relating to this discussion - why do christians forget the other passages of the bible that contradict, create more questions than they answer, diverge from proven historical fact?? God cannot change his mind if he is all knowing - that was my earlier point. The only lack of knowledge can be in what the bible says - not what some people take it to mean, not what some say is allegory and others say is literal, the only knowledge can be in what is written in the bible. There will always be disagreements on how the bible should be taken, it has always been that way, this is why we have different religions, yet everyone who calls themselves christian seems to forget this. Once again sir, I mean all of this with the utmost respect. I am simply speaking to you how I would if we were talking in person. There is not a single shred of hostility within my typing
