WHAT IS THE “WORD OF GOD” AND “THE VIRGIN BIRTH”?

(I don’t necessarily agree with all the links cited.  It’s just a vast array of different opinions that you can decide on by the guidance of the Holy Spirit).
 
Many people listen to preachers who are not trained in the development of the Bible.  It is copies of copies of copies that broke apart (written on papyrus-a thin form of wood that kept breaking apart), had to be pieced together (by human beings, not God), and comments were written on the margins by scribes that later blended into the text (does your preacher understand this?). 
 
We must not forget that humans decided which books should be in the Bible.  The true word of God is in the true teachings of Jesus (hard to find) and other spiritual leaders, God’s creation, and the Holy Spirit in our hearts (Jesus said that he would send us a Comforter).
 
If I go to a doctor, I don’t want to know his religion or whether he is a drug addict or not.  I want to know his batting average in what he does (hard to find, but possible).  God expects us to use our minds and make the best choice.  We are made in His image, right?
 
There is an ad in the Aiken paper that advertises “Bible Worship” (that’s idolatry, right?).  More street signs in front of churches advertise “Bible Centered” rather than “Christ Centered” (it should be “God Centered” because Christ was trying to direct us to God).
 
 
And what about the virgin birth?  Many leaders of that day were reportedly born of a virgin.  St. Paul never mentions it.  His main thrust was the resurrection of the believers. 
 
 
 
Finally, blood sacrifice came from the religions that the Hebrews were captured by.  Do you really think that a God who said that we must forgive others 70 times 7 would require blood sacrifice of an innocent victim?
