Why did God choose only the Jews? Again Christians make out their God to be too small.
We don't "make out our God" at all, we believe what HE has told us. He SAID He chose the Jews JUST BECAUSE HE WANTED TO. He's God isn't He? A people to carry His word and to be the source of His Messiah. Could have been any people. Could have been any man but Abraham. But He chooses whom He chooses. He's God.
Why not inspire the message in several or all cultures?
Well, gee, if you were God you could do it your way. I probably wouldn't have done it God's way either. I'm not smart enough. He did it His way and that's that.
Why not write it in the stars or in the crystallographic lattices of rocks,the leaves of trees and the formations that form when water freezes,
Um He did. But I haven't noticed anybody getting the message, have you? Anybody you know reading the trees and crystals and recognizing that God sent a Savior to save us from our sins? That's the message you know. If God is going to give it in one place He's going to give it in all other places. Same message. If you can't see it in the crystals that has to be your fault not His.
in addition to "inspiring" a single tribe of a bronze-age people with a contradictory and convoluted text, written in malleable words on fragile paper? ]
Words are clearer than rock crystals and leaves when you want to convey a message like the salvation of sinners, wouldn't you guess?
Why then stop all inspiration and expect people 2000 years later to get the right message?
Um, God is God. Got that? I'm not God, I don't know why He did things as He did, I just know He did, and criticizing Him for it seems a tad, well, foolish at least.
And that's supposed to be God seeking man? Even Islam has more recent divine scripture than that.
All the other messages contradict the Bible. Two opposed messages can't both be true. Elementary logic. If you like Islam then go with Islam but don't deceive yourself that it is the same God talking.
DRAT, I THINK THIS IS OFF TOPIC. SORRY I WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION.
