Hos6:6 For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings.

Rom14:22 The faith which you have, have as your own conviction before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves.
Romans 10:8 they have a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge. For not knowing about God's righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. For Moses writes that the man who practices the righteousness which is based on law shall live by that righteousness. But the righteousness based

We pray to God, we ask Him for help, we ask His forgiveness.
People wrote the Bible--God did not. Maybe He inspired some of the writers--but certainly not all.
The Bible in most cases, was written many years after the facts--then some things got lost in translation. Besides, there are different "versions" of the Bible.

I 'speak with God' (pray) several times a day, and if that isn't 'acknowledging Him' then I don't know what is.
I don't think that God would EVER 'improve on the Bible' because He's GOD and the Bible was written FOR men (and women) BY men. I am intelligent enough to know that I can NOT 'learn all there is to know about God' from any BOOK, no matter how 'holy' it is ... because it is JUST A BOOK written by real men, and is not 'GOD' the 'being' ... and that is why I pray. Sometimes my prayers may be 'silly' to God, and sometimes they may be 'extremely serious' but because I 'pray' frequently and consistently, I 'trust God' to also 'send answers back' that I still may 'miss seeing' but won't if I am 'in line with GOD' to begin with.

Since all men are fallible(according to your Bible) and the Bible was written by men, doesn't that mean the Bible is fallible? You need to study religions of the world to find your own path instead of being a follower. Just because one people believe in the Bible doesn't mean it is the only way to salvation. I believe in God, but not in religion. Religions are the major cause of all wars and death and destruction in the world and always have been. And the Christian Bible is a major cause of the rife in the world today. Just because not everyone believes as you do doesn't mean they are wrong. We are all going to the same place, some of us(who actually use our brains) follow our own paths.

We have to become children of God by repenting and surrendering the serpent seed (sin) and then upon overcoming all things become sons and daughters of God (2 Cor. 6:16, 18; Rev 21:7, Rom 8:19).
The purpose why there is Bible (Word of God) is to produce sons and daughters who will fulfill the written Words. It's not the Bible to be improved but our thinking and mentality as God wants us to be.

One does not 'improve' the word of God. One does discern between what is God's word and what is not God's word. Just because it is in between the covers of a Bible; does not make it scripture. Not discerning it, is one of the causes of division within 'Christianity' currently in the USA.

The Christian Bible is infallible. It doesn't need to be changed.
