That's just a silly legalism.
You only need to read it once or twice to get the idea. Then you communicate
with God directly through the spirit as you suggested.
But who said the Christian Bible is God's actual words? Only early
Christian fundamentalists and zealots.
If it was God's actual words then it would be called dictation instead of
inspiration.
Most of it is man's traditions, laws and histories.
And there are many spiritual misconceptions in it like legalistic judgement
and punishment etc.

If hell isn't the truth then that's proof that the Bible isn't entirely
God's words.

I already understand the plan.
Its about spiritual evolution through understanding the workings of the dark
and the ego and learning to work through love instead.

God never rejects anyone to begin with.
That's the lie of Christianity to make people attend their church and put
money in their box so the clergy can make a living.
And we don't need a saviour. Saved from what?
We evolve ourselves spiritually. That's all. The rest is a lie to control
people through fear.

Rubbish. Everything in this world is subject to man's and the dark's
corruptions.
That's free will at work.

Bible study classes etc. just make up interpretations to try to explain away
the discrepancies.
I've heard many. Every study class has different explanations for the same
verses.
If it was God's word then there would be no question or confusion and no
need for endless studies and re-studies.
That's a difficult question because first one has to understand what
someone/something is before you can love them/it.
Is God a humanoid?
Is God a concept?
No one truly knows or understands what a 'God' is.
God can only be a concept (super conscious awareness) because only a concept
can be omnipresent (everywhere at the same time), omniscient and omnipotent.
Loving 'God' like a father figure is an old patriarchal tradition.
And the idea that God needs and demands our love to the point of severe
punishment is downright silly and even despotic.

Spirituality is far more important than religion.
Religions like Christianity have rather little spirituality and a lot of
religion.
Spirituality is all about utilising the spiritual powers within you instead
of begging to the powers outside of you.

No. 'God' is way beyond the pettiness of little creatures mocking him.
