It was not Awake! magazine that made that statement; but instead that issue of Awake! reasoned to refute the idea!
From the same era (about 50 years ago), here is a related quote on the same matter from Awake!'s companion magazine, The Watchtower (May 1, 1953, page 262; article “Keeping a Tight Grip on the Word of Life”):
[begin quote]
Popular magazines loosen the grip of many on the Word of life. Look [magazine], February 26, 1952, tried to appear sensational by apparently suddenly discovering the Bible was filled with errors. It called attention to about half a dozen spurious passages, such as Mark 16:9-20, John 8:1-11 and 1 John 5:7. After citing these few big errors Look glibly states that Bible scholars agree that there are from 20,000 to 50,000 errors in the Bible. Does not this leave the impression that these thousands of errors are serious ones, like those mentioned, and hence that the Bible is wholly unreliable? Actually, serious errors are remarkably few, and years ago they were ferreted out and eliminated in modern translations. Scholars recognize how remarkably accurate has been the preservation of the Scriptures. In a mercenary endeavor to be sensational Look misrepresented the Bible, subtly discrediting it. The secular press in general leaps to the opportunity to shake confidence in the Bible.

that's the preconceived bias to push aside each and every of the contradictions alongside with your old formed rationalization it truly is interior the way of the somewhat nonbiased seem. A nonbiased seem would show that the bible is crammed with errors, contradictions and discrepencies. that is in elementary terms with the creation of your bias which you would be able to push aside issues like gentle being created in the past the celebs as in elementary terms some extraordinary way of asserting another reality. you're forgetting how person-friendly it truly is to interpret the comparable concern in any different case. and that's the priority. If the bible became so perfect, it does not be open to those distinctive interpretations. making use of this argument, you may declare something is "perfect," you may push aside any argument. And any scientist would permit you recognize that an variety impervious to errors is not any variety in any respect. It does not clarify something if it explains away each and every thing.

They don't call it "the ever changing word of God" for nothing.
