Hey, vestion (npub1w69…4wwu),
Glad as I am that you agree with my assertions, I'm doubly puzzled by your position.
The bible is *filled* with self-referential claims that it is the very words of God. Jesus himself repeatedly points out that the scriptures testify of and point to him. God's words (plural) are forever established in heaven. And so I struggle to understand how you can assert that "The Bible never claims to be the Word of God..."
I also am at a loss to comprehend your epistemology. If you don't believe the bible to be either God's word or infallible, what is your basis for knowledge of any kind? I'm honestly wondering. Are you purely a naturalist?
By the way, I'm very appreciative that you've read my article(s) (plural) and are interacting, but I wonder about the basis upon which you can be in agreement with me.
