[From many - one.]

Every now and then I see a post that is, for lack of a better phrase,shockingly accurate. Yours is one:

"...How does one book descended from the oral tradition of one middle eastern tribe, with a lot of Babylonian myths tossed in, overrule the untranslated Word of God, available to everyone in the original language -- the world and the univrse itself?"

Perfect.

I think it was JOb who was admonished for demanding the world be what he wanted it to be rather than what it is.

I am pretty sure Job is one of the last, if not the last book of the Hebrew Bible. It is a response to those who noticed that the good don't always prosper (as previously promised). It is internal evidence within the Bible itself, that not everything in scripture can be taken literally. A little warning that we have to think about reality for ourselves.

Do I know you?
Have we ever met?
I have no Idea what you look like.
I have never heard you speak.
Why should I then Believe you exist?
Is it because of your written words here?
And if you die without our ever having met, what evidence is there that you ever existed, if these words are erased?
Perhaps the testimony of your friends.
But, why should I believe them?

We have never met..and on and on and on

From where I sit, the evidence is, that God exists, as much as you.
