God’s Words cannot be wrong. Scriptures can be wrong.

Many scriptures of different faiths exist in the present day.
The followers claim their holy scripture are the words of God. No doubt about
that. God’s words cannot go wrong. The God pass it through His messengers such
as angels, the message passed down to the prophets, saints or etc. The saints
explain the truth to the common people. During this time they supposed to convey
the message as God had given them. So where can be wrong?
Firstly, most scriptures were not written during the saints
are alive. If written during the saints alive then cannot deny much. Or even
written by the messengers or saints themselves, then we should not question
much. But still got room for questions such as true messengers or not. But I
don’t question them. In Hinduism, it is believed that Vyasa wrote the Vedas and Puranas. Vyasa used the method of sruthi (divine revelation), wrote on the spot while receiving the sruthi from the divine, and smrithi
(remembered text) was written later after the saint/yogi/messenger dead. It is the collection by a group of people who remembered/codified/translated and etc. the revelation of the saints during he/she alive.
Secondly, all or most scriptures were never brought down
straight from heaven. If any, I am not sure. They were collected at a very long
gap in time. Many things can be added, omitted, or even misunderstood. Can be
memorized wrongly, wrote wrongly, even interpreted wrongly and etc.
Thirdly, not necessarily we must follow exactly what the
saints or messengers had done. Because they did what they supposed to do as
instructed by God. The instructions are for them not for the common people. The
common people supposed to do what is fated only as of the commoner. Not take the role
of the messengers. Supposed all the actions of the human race cannot in any way,
betrays another human,(cannot against Manu
dharma/humanism). If saints or prophets had done certain actions beyond
humanity, doesn’t mean we must do that way. They did it because they were
instructed by God. When God instructed us to act like them?
Fourth, most scriptures got some common chapters that share
some same views, stories. It seems like to be copied to each other’s explanations.
All the scriptures accept the truth that God is the supreme power. There is no
religion that says the other way, if so then it is a question mark. Every soul born into this world’s aim are the same, the aim is to go to heaven.
Fifth, all the scriptures somewhere, somehow, were written by a/some human. There is no one single scripture that is dropped directly from heaven. The human can add his own view or ideas into scriptures. The real instruction must come
from God only. So you suppose to ask God by yourself through prayer. If
you surrender to God and pray by heart, sure you will find the truth. That is
why in Hinduism, we don’t really need scriptures and founder. We supposed to
found by ourselves. Scriptures are only as a reference and guide in the journey
to search for truth. Don’t get obsessed with scriptures.
Finally, the truth is always the same. The truth is never
changed through time. God is the truth. If you search for the truth, you will
find the same answer at any time. The person, who meditated 2000 years ago, or meditates
today or in the future about 1000 years later, will find the same answer. So,
scriptures are a basic necessity to understand the truth. But the actual truth
you supposed search within yourself. Just follow the path chosen for you by God, and do not go against humanity. The tendency of killing another human
is sure a demoniac act. Humans have been deceived by demon through time. So
please be aware and always in God’s conscious to avoid the deceiving demon. Our
negative intentions are one of the demons!
