If the Bible and my brain are both the work of the same Infinite God, whose fault is it that the book and my brain do not agree?

My answer would respectfully be...yours. God gives us the truth. Not the truth as he sees it or his opinion of truth, but the truth. He created us. But he did not create us as puppets. From the beginning with Adam and Eve, well before the bible was written God gave us truth and instruction. Do not eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge, if you do you will die. But, ultimately He gave them the choice to follow Him and live forever without suffering or disobey and not live forever on earth. They chose wrong and sin entered the world.
Since then God has continued to give us the freedom of choice. We choose what we believe...about all things. Do I believe in the right to choose, am I democrat or republican, do I like mayo or miracle whip on my sandwich, who am I attracted to, how will I behave... God delights in our good choices and feels sorrow for our bad. He gives us many oppourtunities to choose Him, to believe not just in Him, but to believe Him, believe His Word (the bible).
You decide what you believe. But everyone knows that every choice we make has a consequence. And those of us who do believe Him know that He has said the consequence for not believing in Him is eternal damnation. It is not a popular idea. I would venture to say that many believers would say that if they were God they would do things differently. Maybe if you were a good person that would be enough, maybe as long as you worshiped some god that would be enough, or maybe they would make it harder, you have to believe, pray every night, only eat fish on Fridays certain times of the year, attend church every Sunday (morning and evening) and Wednesday night too, there could be a quota for how many souls you convert... But we are not God.
I guess the infinite truth about the Infinite God is He created your brain and He wrote the bible, all with the power of His brain. He just didn't give anyone a brain as powerful as His.
I hope that you will continue to ask questions, real or sarcastic. I just also hope you will read the answers with an open mind.

The bible was written by GOD, a perfect being. As we know when adam and eve sinned,they then became inperfect ,passing those inperfections on down the line as we do our faults to our children and so on. Through thousands of years we continue to be as a dented cake pan, no matter how many cakes we make, the dent is always there. So...we can not comprihend alot of what GOD does or says due to this fact. The bible is correct, we just can't understand it.,and were stubborn and give up trying. Have faith. The truth always reveals its self in time. So the answer would be not either ones fault,blame Adam and Eve.

The bible was not written by God it was written by men (apparently inspired by god) And your brain is not aligned with its message because you have not allowed yourself to be conditioned to accept such rubbish. Be proud of yourself. The mind must first be restricted and conditioned in order to believe the contradictions of men portrayed in that book.

Have you lately flushed your brain to get rid of debris and residues? This you have to do at least once a day for your brain to agree with the book. Good luck.

Its not that your brain doesnt agree its that you dont understand what the Bible says.You need to give it a chance with an open mind and heart.

cause according the bible, god gave you free will to make up your own mind.
or just be smart and realise that there is no god in the first place, and stop banging your head.
