There is no “dumb stuff” in the Bible, only “dumb people”

True. Frankie's mistake is easier to make for a Protestant who does not understand the typology of the Old Testament.

Something that they can touch, smell, taste, hear, or see

That is why Christ came incarnate rather than in a book form.

Ah, but NOW "Wherefore HENCEFORTH know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have KNOWN Christ after the flesh, yet NOW HENCEFORTH know we him no more." 2 Cor. 5:16.

NOW we know Him by the Spirit. Not in things we can SEE, HEAR, SMELL, TASTE, or TOUCH.
