God doesn't interfere in everything we do because that would violate free will.
The Ten Commandments were given for a reason—God knew that "false gods" would arise and use religious texts to mislead people. One commandment, "Thou shalt not bow down to graven images," addresses this.
False gods often manipulate through words and language, so it’s no surprise that religious texts might be altered or hijacked over time.
I don't believe God would simply wave His hand to stop someone from changing the Bible—that's not how He works.
God isn’t going to wave his magic hand to stop free will.
If bad actors wanted to change the text.
God isn’t going to wave his hand and telepathically mind control the bad actors like Charles Xavier from the X-men.
God gave us the 10 commandments for a reason.
To be able and to determine if someone altered the text for bad purposes.
If you look at religious wars.
Most wars are fought because we have people arguing over text scriptures.
Which makes them violate God’s commandment of thou shall not kill.
Their argument would be.
It’s ok to kill because the scripture says we are right.
I don’t live by scripture.
I live by the 10 Commandments first.
I can’t join you. I will study the scripture with fervor. It certainly helps relieve my worries about our current state. God DOES step in when He decides it’s warranted.
Parting the Red Sea.
Closing the lions mouths in the Lion’s Den.
Destroying the world with a flood.
Etc.
i'm with you TLCOG. tbh, i can't think of another book in this world that a person can read daily, their entire life (say 70-80 years) and never get bored with it.
and also, finding new and exciting things as well (in the book you've already read), pretty much every time you read it. it's just too amazing for it to be written by man without the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
can you imagine reading any other one book for 70-80 years? i couldn't.
Over the centuries, it's likely been modified by human hands, making it more of a human product than divine.
The New Testament, for example, is made up of writings from Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—human beings who told their own versions of events. The Old Testament also had multiple authors, each writing from their own perspective.
It's not as if these authors sat in a room with God, who dictated word-for-word what to write. These are stories filtered through human experience and interpretation.
On top of that, we have to consider the role of publishers and distributors in spreading religious texts. Just as with any book, there are people involved in getting it into the hands of the public.
With so many religious leaders potentially tied to groups like the "Deep State," can we really believe that these texts haven't been altered at some point in history to serve certain agendas?
I think you need to do some better research. If you have any interest in making sure you’re right about what IS a Salvation issue, I would suggest Chuck Missler’s “Through the Bible in 24 Hours”
How is it possible for you to believe the 10 Commandments are God Breathed and the rest of His Word to be false?

That’s pretty much exactly how He works when it comes to His Word.
Refer to Jeremiah 36:21-28
We need to defend the Holy Inspired Word of God.

John 1:1
If Satan can convince us that the Word of God is flawed, what more can he do to deceive us?
I don’t agree.

That's subjective to interpretation.
Did they see a large face and powerful glowing hand. With a guy saying "I am God... I got this for you??"
His word is forever. I do believe you're somewhat right. They don't hijack the Bible they mock it.

i believe the writers you are talking about were inspired to write as the Holy Spirit directed them.
💯
Yes.. but how we understand them is subjective to our own opinions.
God does not speak in subjective terms.

I believe the scriptures are just stories that we are suppose to get the moral value from.
Lessons in history they are.
I do not believe God sat in a room with select people and said
"Ok guys... now write this down EXACTLY as I tell you... it's my word"
He would absolutely protect it.
How?
Waving his magic hand and stopping free will?
