“He could see to the ‘several millenia’ as easily as anywhere else in Time.”

I agree with that but believe He is above the limitations of man-made words.

Words or books are all highly simplified interpretations by men who have seen glimpses of what lies beyond.

I do believe many of the core teachings of the Bible are true but it is all man-made interpretation to help us understand these teachings.

There can be no such thing as “God's Word” condensed into a book for He is beyond what can be written in words.

THE WORD simply exists all around us. The Universe itself and EVERYTHING in it is THE WORD. We can only comprehend a fraction of one drop in this ocean. God is NO FAILURE. We are the failure for thinking all the teachings of God's Universe can be condensed into a book.

You conflate what God wants us to know with His very being. This is pure sophistry that contains a great contradiction: That the Word of God is not true due to an apparent failure of all powerful God but is somehow intelligibly OBJECYIVELY contained in all of Creation; a sign of His Power.

The word of God is then subjective and WHATEVER you want it to be. Which leads me to the conclusion that there is something in the ACTUAL Word of God that you don’t like and wish to deny.
