Questions on the bible

Hello all, back again as have had some thoughts on my mind lately , would love any thoughts on this.

If God is omnipotent why would he need to ask people things (Adam for example) or test people's faith?

If he does love us, again why test the faith?

This leads on to: if the bible is the true word of God, why would he go out of his way to get things wrong - for example saying that there are two lights on the sky which go around the earth. Surely god could have told us the earth goes round the sun. It's like he's going out of his way to convince people the things written are not true.

Does anyone's know Of any creation stories which say the earth is round and orbits the sun?

where it is meant to be Literal, not in the places it is meant to be clearly allegory/parable.

And herein lies the problem. There's no way to know what is the former or the latter. People are constrained by the time and place they're in.

You don't need to like God judging people for him to go ahead with it

No but I'm a bit 🤔 at a God who drowns babies getting sniffy with me for not thinking he exists because there's no evidence. At least he could try and be morally superior to me.

they reject me, it doesn't stop me loving them.

Would you support a system that punished them for rejecting you?
