Since this statement is the foundation of your OP, I have asked you to justify it from scripture. If you are unable to do so, the very premise of your entire "wake up call" is flawed and serves only to gender strife(2 Timothy 2:23-24) because precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little(Isaiah 28:10).
Some people believe they can determine God's plan through careful study of scripture, but this only causes division and strife.(2 Timothy 2:23-26, 2 Timothy 3:1-9, Romans 10:2-3) The purpose of the Bible is to lead you to the knowledge of God(the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ) because God desires mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.(Hosea 6:6, Matthew 12:7, Matthew 9:13)
Below is a short list of scriptures(by no means exhaustive) which relate the purpose of scripture and the purpose of most of God's actions recorded in scripture(that ye may know and believe me, know that I am the Lord).
Exodus 6:7, Exodus 7:5, Exodus 7:17, Exodus 8:22, Exodus 10:2, Exodus 14:4, Exodus 14:18, Exodus 16:12, Exodus 29:46, Exodus 31:13, Deuteronomy 29:6, 1 Kings 20:13, 1 Kings 20:28, Isaiah 49:23, Isaiah 60:16, Ezekiel 6:7, Ezekiel 6:10, Ezekiel 6:13, Ezekiel 6:14, Ezekiel 7:4, Ezekiel 7:9, Ezekiel 7:27, Ezekiel 11:10, Ezekiel 11:12, Ezekiel 12:15, Ezekiel 12:16, Ezekiel 12:20, Ezekiel 13:9, Ezekiel 13:14, Ezekiel 13:21, Ezekiel 13:23, Ezekiel 14:8, Ezekiel 15:7, Ezekiel 16:62, Ezekiel 20:12, Ezekiel 20:20, Ezekiel 20:26, Ezekiel 20:38, Ezekiel 20:42, Ezekiel 20:44, Ezekiel 22:16, Ezekiel 23:49, Ezekiel 24:24, Ezekiel 24:27, Ezekiel 25:5, Ezekiel 25:7, Ezekiel 25:11, Ezekiel 25:17, Ezekiel 26:6, Ezekiel 28:22, Ezekiel 28:23, Ezekiel 28:24, Ezekiel 28:26, Ezekiel 29:6, Ezekiel 29:9, Ezekiel 29:16, Ezekiel 29:21, Ezekiel 30:8, Ezekiel 30:19, Ezekiel 30:25, Ezekiel 30:26, Ezekiel 32:15, Ezekiel 33:29, Ezekiel 34:27, Ezekiel 34:30, Ezekiel 35:4, Ezekiel 35:9, Ezekiel 35:12, Ezekiel 35:15, Ezekiel 36:11, Ezekiel 36:23, Ezekiel 36:38, Ezekiel 37:6, Ezekiel 37:13, Ezekiel 38:23, Ezekiel 39:6, Ezekiel 39:7, Ezekiel 39:22, Ezekiel 39:28, Joel 2:27, Joel 3:17, Ephesians 4:13, Ephesians 1:17, 2 Corinthians 4:6, 2 Corinthians 2:14, Colossians 1:10, 2 Peter 1:2, 2 Peter 1:3, etc.
If you believe the purpose of the Bible is to reveal God's plan for the redemption of humankind, please share some scriptures that express that intent. Your unwillingness to defend the foundational premise of the doctrine you teach only further displays your error.
1 Corinthians 15:34
Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
2 Corinthians 10:5
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
I doubt many would apply that admonishment to their own beliefs, interpretations, doctrines and theologies. But are quite ready to apply it to others.
