when you question the bible or the people who teach it, you aren't challenging your belief in God, you are challenging your belief in the people who wrote the bible, or rewrote the bible, or spoke of the bible, as this knowledge has passed though many many many people in time, and each person has their own filters and their own biases and blindnesses.
One might argue that since it is the Bible, God would surely keep it safe from damaging change (change is impossible to avoid, so the change of err is the only valid argument here). But this is flawed too as God has bestowed freewill on man, leaving him to do as he chooses. So that leaves 2,000 years of change, reinterpretation, bias, and absent cultural context. Any validation of Faith from the Bible loses its potency because of this and raises the question: can the Bible change?
