This is what God has revealed to all people through His word, the Bible.

But God did not reveal the Bible to all people. Even in this day and age there are people who are totally isolated and oblivious to your God and your Savior. And bazillions of people who lived and died in more primitive times had even less access.

Holding people accountable for something they had no way of even knowing about is, in itself, sufficient reason for rejecting that belief system. IMO and FWIW.

Uh, which Bible?

The Catholic or the Protestant?

Which translation? Or is only the original Hebrew and Greek the Word of God?

I sort of gave up the belief that the Bible was the absolute and literal word of God when I realized that different translations said different things. (And my studies of Greek suggested that all of them were only approximations anyhow). If God really wanted the Bible to be His only and absolute literal word, why would she allow all those different versions and translations?
