i mean back in the days when sacred texts were written how many people were actually able to read? like 1 in a 1000? less than that? it's the same as if in todays standards god would reveal his words in C++ computer code.

What is your suggestion? God should make a video tape and tape player for everyone?
do you think is an efficient way to reach people to collect your words in a book with 800.000 words in it when nobody is able to read it?
please consider also that in present times when the majority of people can read, those who read the bible from cover to cover are actually very few. Even less those who understand it.
I don't know what he was supposed to do cause i'm no god, i simply think that of all the things he could have done what he actually chose to do was not a very efficient choice
People wrote it, not God. God revealed himself to men through revelation, and it was written.
And that is the reason most don't get the Biblical prophecy, as it uses computer programming techniques to define words within side its self....it's the same as if in todays standards god would reveal his words in C++ computer code.
Didn't the ancients consider written words to be divine?
See here
I guess it was considered magic that words could "stay".
And that is the reason most don't get the Biblical prophecy, as it uses computer programming techniques to define words within side its self....
So if you use a computer word search, same as you would with code, you can find the definitions placed in alternate prophets (classes).
The fact that has been done across time as well, justifies to me that the divine has clearly had a hand in some of the things written.
Yet i do agree with your point, it is a bit pointless giving a bunch of Arabs in tents, computer code and then wondering why they've not understood it properly.

We're not.... Found the Bible codes you're saying about childish, like doing word searches, where you can move the letter grids about, of course you will then find the words you need in a massive book....If we're talking about the same thing

It's about control. Control is alright, but if it's not evened out by chaos it's a pain.i mean back in the days when sacred texts were written how many people were actually able to read? like 1 in a 1000? less than that? it's the same as if in todays standards god would reveal his words in C++ computer code.

Really? I've read a little bit of the Quran before and it gets into some pretty deep arguments.Your imagination needs correction.
Please take the case of Quran/Recitation, it was primarily a verbal converse that G-d made with Muhammad for the benefit of mankind. From Muhammad the Word revealed his companion committed to their memory and from them the others from generation to generation. This system continues to present day.
So it was from heart to heart, what they heard it was easy to understand.
Kindly correct yourself. Please

Yes it is simple, natural and deep all at one time. The Recitation/Quran has systems which are as natural as is the Universe, it is because Universe or Nature is the Work of G-d and Recitation is the Word of G-d, both have signs and clues that clearly point out to the One who created (the Universe or the Nature) and the One who authored it (the Recitation/Quran), in both case it is the same being ONE G-d.Really? I've read a little bit of the Quran before and it gets into some pretty deep arguments.
Amongst the Israelites, who I believe were entrusted with writing God's Word, literacy was common. Further, the Holy Scriptures were read regularly for the benefit of all the people, including children. (Exodus 24:7) Having a written record is far better than oral tradition. As the saying goes, "put it in writing". (Deuteronomy 31:10-12)i mean back in the days when sacred texts were written how many people were actually able to read? like 1 in a 1000? less than that? it's the same as if in todays standards god would reveal his words in C++ computer code.
