Is it the word of God or not? The word of God does not say the Bible is history. Sorry. Don't blame me. Blame the Bible for not saying it.

Again, not speaking of the Bible. Look up the Hebrew word for heaven in that verse and you'll find it's speaking of the sky and celestial space, up there.

Where's the history of Jerusalem and the temple getting sacked by the Romans? Why not that history? Not much of a history book without that.
