God speaks

Check out this interesting answer on Yedda

meghahome,

With all respect, I can see why you are copping out here. Your statements are so out of it. It is obvious you are not interested in any rational answers that do not line up with your own thinking. You are even contradicting your own statements. i.e.: "Many books in the Bible are written by ordinary people like shepherds, fishermen etc. almost uneducated. God speaks through His Prophets and Apostles." Are you a student of the Qu'ran or what? Who do you think the Apostles were? See Hebrew 1, for a clear understanding how God communicates to us today. That is; the Apostles, who God spoke through, were indeed through ordinary people. Besides fishermen, there was a doctor and a tax collector, and a tent maker.
