1. Ecclesiastes isn't "Thus saith the Lord".
2. Jesus said "with God ALL things are possible".
3. Throughout the Bible there are folks raised from the dead. Lazarus was in the grave for 4 days before Jesus revived him.
4. Many saints arose from their graves when Jesus died - Matthew 27.
5. The scroll in Revelation 5 is NOT the "little book" that John eats in Revelation 10. Totally different.
6. How will John "prophesy" as Rev 10:11 states? Does the book of Revelation fulfill that?
Quoting: TheLordsServant 1. So you are saying Ecclesiastes isn't the inspired Word of God?
2. Jesus did say "with God all things are possible", however God doesn't contradict himself in His Word. Ever. So, if it seems to be a contradiction, it must be a misunderstanding of the reader.
3.There are two meanings in Scripture. One is historical, the other Spiritual. As Jesus states numerous times. No one will bodily resurrected until the "last day"(John 6:40, John 6:39, John 6:44)
5. The book in Revelation 5:3 is the true spiritual and literal meaning of the Book of Revelation. Nobody was able to open the book in heaven and earth because of the devastating foretold falling away. So, anyone who steps forward to expound on the contents of Revelation must prove how they are not of the foretold falling away.
I pray you understand these things.

1. "Word of God" are either "Thus saith the Lord" OR the quotes of what Jesus said - since the Father TOLD Him what to say. "Inspired" doesn't mean "dictated". Neither Father God nor Jesus wrote ANY of the Bible. The Holy Spirit was to "remind" the writers of quotes etc... Further proof the Bible wasn't entirely "divinely" written?
Seemingly apparent contradictions.
2. The Bible isn't "the Word of God". The writers were inspired - not "dictated to". Father God wrote the 10 Commandments on stone tablets with His finger. BIG difference.
God doesn't change His mind?
How about when God was going to destroy ALL the earth - but found Noah to be righteous?
How about when He was going to destroy ALL the folks with Moses - then Moses talked Him out of doing it.
How about when God had an angel killing folks in Jerusalem because of David's misdeeds - which stopped when David built an alter and prayer?
3. The saints were seen by folks. That's historical.
5. The "scroll" in Rev 5 is the one with the 7 seals. When Jesus starts opening it - all hell breaks loose. It's surely not the "falling away".
