The Bible is wrong on too many points to be regarded as from God
If you had told us about your disregard for the Holy Written Word of God, you would have saved us a lot of time and effort. You just burned your roadmap.

I do not disregard it, it is the most important text in human history

Making an idol of words is a mistake

It doesn't mean the authors are omniscient

Indeed, Jesus argues against those who are too much attached to knowledge...

Wisdom is a result of living it

Brother,

You, a follower of theosis, believe you will be a deity? Are you a deity now? If not now, are you planning on attaining deity status?

Salvation is exactly this...

God has become man so that man might become God

This does not make me special...

It is just the actual point

Brother,

Just like Mormons. Are you of the Mormons tradition?

1 Corinthians 2:15-16

2 Peter 1:4

1 Corinthians 12:27

etc

Love is patient
Love is kind
Love does not judge
Love allows you to see past all the bad and into the good of a person
Love compels you to keep on trying, even when you fall short
Love wills you you to never let go and never give up
Love changes you so slowly and gently it is painless and joyful
Love takes away the pain of the scorn of others.
Love is the very presence of God the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit

And the greatest act of love of all is forgiveness.
Nice scripture twisting. Actually, this isn't even twisting, it's made up out of whole cloth; the first two lines excepted.

Again, the orthodox uphold theosis as salvation

Catholics say look at these teachings for deification

Only the protestant says it is blasphemy

Pretending the Holy Written Inspired Word of God is just a book to be willy-nilly picked apart and discredited by a self described "meat man" is the mistake.

I saw a verse earlier where Paul was bemoaning writing because it is imprecise...

I wish I could find it again, but being that it's in the Bible your point is moot

The Word says the words suck

Wanting to quote a writer from a book that is untrue to prove your point that the book is untrue.
