since god of the big religions are human constructs i would say they would seem to have all the traits a human can perceive.

what the traits of god are is in real question. Omni powered doesn't seem to fit. meddling in out lives? probably no more than a well tuned athlete meddles with the cells in their body (eat right, train, thinking)

This is not a problem when you also accept the scriptures that tell you that the HG came upon the writers of the Tanach, and since the HG and the Father are ONE we are also told, then when you see Him in the testimony, you also see the Father as well, for both are the same Spirit in operation. You are trying to separate the testator from the testimony. It doesn't work. Peace
How many times do i have to remind you that they testify of him, but Jesus Christ and the bible are not one and the same. The scriptures do not testify of themselves.

No, i know exactly what you are saying Jesus Christ is not the scriptures and not one and the same as the scriptures. You are obviously the one with the reading issue.

2 Timothy 3:16 does. I Pet 1:25 does. Psa 119 does in many places.

You don't know that. Jesus did many things not included in the Bible(Jn 21:25). Besides it is not necessary to say what God inspired is inerrant and infallible. That is a no-brainer.

Neither do you. So Stop adding to it. You know what your bible says about that.
