@jerlands,
It seems to exist To record and reveal to mankind, the how things were created, the why things were created(or purpose of life,) the how to live(morality), the where to afterlife, the reason for pain/suffering and death.
To record and reveal Gods character, mans sinful nature, the need for a saviour(the ark of salvation)
Take for example how common it is to hear ppl say ‘I am s good person’ when in reality nothing could be further from the truth that in Gods eyes there is no such thing as a good person! (Except Christ) Romans 3:23
Another quick example is how ppl embrace millions and billions of years, and that flesh eating has always existed, whereas it has been recorded and revealed that originally creation was vegetarian,(Genesis chp 1&9) and was created apx 6,000 years ago. (Genesis chp 5&11) Again, nothing could be further from the truth!
How LOST mankind is, and would be forever without God.
‘Thy word is a lamp unto my feet’ wrote the Psalmist.
I agree with the author of the book of Judges:
When God goes, anything goes, anarchy reigns.
