Why doesn't the Bible mention.............

Jehovah our God is One
Why doesn't the bible mention, aeroplanes, electricity, gunpowder, Nuclear fission, Space Shuttle. Space Stations, motorcars, aircraft carriers, vaccines, skyscrapers, cruiseliners, mosques, machine guns, nuclear weapons or billions of other things that have occurred since it was written, if it has so many prophecies in it and god knows all? Why didn't god mention any of this stuff when telling the authors what to write? Is it because god didn't know all this stuff, or he didn't tell anyone what to write, or he just doesn't exist and these are really the stories of bronze age goatherds?
its not important.
But ancient goatherding techniques are? Or how too treat your slave 101 is? What about how big to build your little animal rescue boat? Almost nothing in that book has any relevance to today, why not? If it's a book for all time, for all men?
Sounds like you need to read beyond Genesis.

it has a lot of relevance to us today.
The bible is a book about Gods plans and purposes, not ours.
Oh I have and my statement stands.

Yeah, you know it's just like how my Complete User Guide To Photoshop doesn't mention anything about dentistry, or newly discovered exoplanet Kepler-22! Despite the fact that the guide is, by its own claim "complete," these vital facts-- that are completely and utterly relevant to the subject matter of its contents-- are totally missing! What a crock! What a con! These people who read it, and think they know something about Photoshop, but come out completely uninformed about dentistry, are stooges of a huge hoax!
Did god's original plan work out? NO
Did god need a change of plans and decide the best way forward was mass slaughter? OFTEN
Did god demand a ransom be paid to him (a human sacrifice) in order that he redress his wrong (blaming all men for one man's "SIN")? YES
There's much more I can write about god's plans and purposes, which parts have relevance to us in this day? Ignore god's plans because they're all flops?
Did god write that as well, gee he's not very good is he?
Pegg
Jehovah our God is One
im going to take that as a rhetorical question, yes?
Well there were other questions in the post, but I answered those for you, didn't I?
I was merely asking how such failed plans can be relevant?

Don't tell everyone cable, you know only the erect have that knowledge. :biglaugh:It's in the missing Gospels
And God has no plans or purposes for any technological advancement of the last 2000 years?

This is ridiculous and I don't get why this thread is still going active. Would people back from the time of Moses understand the concept of electricity, aircraft, nuclear technology and the like? Remember that the pips who wrote the bible are from the times when these concepts aren't still accessible. Even if God want to have them written by those folks, they will just end up like "WTF is God talking about?". And yeah, God did not limit everything to the bible, that's why we are given brains (aka intellect) so that we can use it. What's the sense of having brains if the Bible is something that God wants to be a book that pips would be dependent all long.... Even for flushing your toilet bowl.
In that case why did god stop the bible 2000yrs ago?
The bible just stopped 2000yrs ago....................just stop.

But there's quite a bit in the Bible that's like that: predictions about future events that hadn't yet occurred, weird commands with no apparent reason behind them, etc. Apparently, God doesn't really care if people understand him perfectly all the time.
