I'm impressed you read Hebrew. So for example you have probably read then 10 commandments, you have to take it personally, as if God were actually talking to you Oren. Because he is if you believe it. I know it's a tall order.

First of all, don't be so impressed with my Hebrew. It is simply my native language. Also, what your'e saying is not a tall order. It just that it doesn't make sense. The ten commandments are just a text writtem by someone. In fact we know almost for certain who he was. Why should I take it to be the word of god more than anything else written?

First of all Oren, in my heart God wrote the 10 Commandments, please not just the 10 but also the whole Bible. I know it in my heart, by faith. I assume you are Jewish my friend, my brother. I think you are listening to outer influences (wolves in sheep clothing). If God is talking to you Oren, the Bible, God's word, listening to any other confuses one. Let the Bible speak to you, it's amazing. Trust me you may read 110 psalms and not understand a lic of 109 but that 1 that speaks to you is God talking to you!

I love the Bible very much. It is a wonderful text, full of wisdom and drama. Still, I don't think it is more the word of God than any other brilliant text. God doesn't talk to me from the Bible, but the genious people who wrote it do. And you know what I admire most about them? That they didn't care that they will be unknown.

You must be talking about the prophets all were inspired by God:
Count the number of times it says "the word of the Lord" is used. Your people have suffered emencely, why? Sin!
Deuteronomy 29:29 The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.

So the text says about itself, that it's the word of god. That is not too creditable, is it?

it is to me, that is where faith comes in.

How can you be so sure that what you believe is true?
