How did those councils know who these chosen penmen were? They don't even know who actually wrote many of the books credited to these chosen penmen. Do you have any knowledge of Bible scholarship at all?
Looking at the promises made to God's children and to Israel being fulfilled is proof for me. The middle east is in turmoil while Israel remains peaceful within it's borders and that's a huge testimony to me.

No way, Jose.
I really have a difficult time understanding how otherwise intelligent and educated people can possibly compartmentalize their minds about these obviously ridiculous assumptions in the face of the extant evidence.
Amen!

It becomes the choice of ignorance.
If God says, "Today the sky is blue."
I will not question my lying eyes telling me the sky is grey, and cloudy.
If I disagree and say, "But God, the sky is grey and cloudy." God will be angry. It might even put God in a killing mood. Don't make God angry or else.
Me? I have no problem calling God on his sh++. Meeting that God? I would have my hand on his earlobe in a heartbeat.

The Bible is the Word of God. For example, in the Book of Revelation John states right at the beginning in Revelation 1:1-3,
Rev. 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show to His bond-servants, the things which must soon take place; and He sent and communicated it by His angel to His bond-servant John, 2] who testified to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw. 3] Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and heed the things which are written in it; for the time is near.
The Revelation was given by God the Father to Jesus Christ who communicated it to John who then recorded it in writing. The Revelation is the Word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. The other Books of the Bible are no less the Word of God than is the Book of Revelation which John tells us is God's communicated Word.

Even IF I credited the self-anointed book of Revelation with some special significance to the Word of God . . . its incomprehensible and outrageously symbolic (nay, insane LSD-like ramblings) are virtually indecipherable. There is no such provenance even claimed within the other often anonymously authored "books" deemed worthy of being in the canon and deceptively assigned notable authorship. This does not even begin to address the blatant ignorance and superstitious nonsense written in it that defies logic and science. No God would ascribe His authorship to such obvious ignorance and superstition . . . let alone to the savagery and barbarity depicted there.

As I have told you before, the Book of Revelation is easy to understand if you understand the Old Testament. I believe John but I give no credence at all to your opinions and beliefs.
No matter how you fool yourself into believing that what is in the Bible comes directly from God . . . it is simply not true. Even a cursory effort at Bible scholarship would disabuse you of such a silly idea. Does the Bible CONTAIN inspirations from God? I believe it does . . . but is it the Word of God . . . No. Jesus is the Living Word of God . . . not the bible..
I absolutely agree with Mystic on this.
