Ed, Yes, I know this-- but you didn't really address my question. How can you be certain these accounts are the divine intentions of God?

If the Bible and other events were recorded by mortal humans, how can you be certain these accounts are the divine intentions of God? Could they reflect mankind trying to understand the world around them, and assert their perceptions are inspired by God? Perhaps they were wrong. Perhaps they were right. Perhaps they made a mistake. Perhaps compassion arises from such uncertainties? Kristy
