It is "God's" Word, not G-d. My God loves me, and asks for me to call on him by name.

God did not write the Bible. Men did. The explanation it renders for the Creation and its associated process is purely allegoric. I know this because I can clearly observe that it describes the whole affair in a "Once Upon a Time" manner. I can also clearly observe that people read too much into the Creation story, because their beliefs do not match the abundant physical evidence.

The Bible is NOT a technical manual for the Earth or the Universe. It is a roadmap back to God through Jesus Christ; and, that is by Grace through Faith alone, not by anything I have done or left undone.

I do call G-d by his name, Jesus, or Yahuwah. That I choose the dash is a form of respect I use in writing to keep me aligned to a reverence for Him.

Men penned words, G-d inspired them and the result is his divine inerrant word. Again I never called it a technical anything, you keep building strawmen, burn them down all you like it does not change the fact you are creating words and ideas from your own mind, not those of mine. All I stated was that the Bible is accurate.

If you believe it is not accurate, supposedly because man wrote it, then how can you infer anything from a flawed writing? You have no way to know what His word is, as you seem to be implying, it is apparently inaccurate, I guess you are free to pick and choose guessing as to his will?
