If you can cut & paste, then I can too. Nothing like the truth to shut up a crack-pot conspiracy theorist who thinks that he discovered the Da Vinci code, or something like that.

In answer to number 1, BOTH God AND Satan inspired David to count the fighting men, since God manipulates the devil to do God's will (even evil serves some good purpose, or else God would not allow evil to exist). Read the book of Job sometime.

The answer to your other questions, you simply found some minor scribal errors made during copying (the ancient equivalent of a typo).

Is this the best that you can do? After thousands of years of people trying to discredit, criticize, and attack the Bible, the best that you can come up with is a cut and paste list of minor typos? Are we supposed to abandon our faith now that you parroted some trivial errors that people have been noticing for hundreds of years now?

These alleged "errors" have been rebutted over and over again for hundreds of years. Don't you have anything original?

[On a side note, this is obvious proof that the Bible has NOT been "heavily" edited, as some claim, because if it had, then these hard to explain passages would have been removed or corrected by now.]

Your question itself implies that you know little about Christianity, or the history of the Bible -- therefore you are posting a rhetorical question just to mock people who believe differently than you (and not even an original question at that. Try posting again when you have a serious question.
