I believe in God, but that it He speaks to people through their heart and various impressions upon them
This is exactly how I know what is true, I ask Him. Some revelations have taken most of my life to be connected and I'm still being prepared for others. I learn even more by asking Him to read His word with me.
It always comes down to the heart with God. He speaks to His creation and delights in it.
This is a lot to unpack and I'm happy to continue this conversation. I can tell you I agree that God is not a whiny tempermental baby and I would like to help you better understand Him as explained in His word. And I can tell you what I think:
God created a perfect creation, angels, earth and everything in it and then humans but He gave all sentient creatures freewill, it is the cost of real love, and knowing this risk, He thought it worthwhile, so I do too.
He has never failed and He is a personal God intimately involved with His creation and He sacrificed Himself to keep us because only He can love us best.
I'll be honest, the way God brags about defeating the Levantine, a mere sea creature in Job, just makes him out to be a being limited in power and size. Defeating a sea creature shouldn't be anything noteworthy for a omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient being that made the stars and the universe.
I am a Christian btw, that passage in Job always struck me as odd and limiting the magnificence of God.
