God gave His Son Jesus.

As I recall, God did not sacrifice His Son. He put His Son on earth for a few short earth years and then brought Him back to Heaven.

Maybe you misunderstood what I was saying about your Bible quotations. I know that the verses you referenced do not include the phrase "he shook it by grabbing its edges". I am unaware of any Bible verses that have that phrase or some similar phrase.

I was paraphrasing Job 38:13 which uses ends/corners/edges depending on the version.

"Sacrifice" is a correct Biblical description.

The verse in Job looks figurative and poetic. Do you think that the Bible should not have these?

I hope that is not what you mean when you challenge the literal interpretation of scripture.

Would you put the same demands on a physics book? Just because a physics book might use an analogy does not give the reader a license to construe the entire book as symbolic or metaphorical.

Somehow I do not think your offended by the science issues as much as maybe some personal ones. Maybe you have had some bad experiences with someone who claims to be a Christian.
