It has no errors
Unless you are referring to printing errors.
What you define as errors in the Bible can be explained by someone knowledgeable in the scriptures....and lots of times a perosn can do it themselve by simply reading the entire chapter to get the real meaning.

the Bible is NOT God's Words, it is written by man as a record of history. Some believe it is actual history, some believe that what we are reading in today's bible has been altered and history has been re-written in the Darkages to gain devotions from people.
Depends on what people want to believe I guess, if people want to quote the bible word for word and belive that it's true then they must have a reason to do it. Religion is somthing that just can't be argued.

While these may be translational flaws or misinterpretations that cause artificial contradictions, the Bible by and large teaches the truth. Every important precept is taught over and over again, in plainness, so we are without excuse.
It is like having a saw that is missing a few teeth, a few teeth are dull... and saying it is not a saw. The truth is it still is a saw perfectly suitable as a tool for God. It is a mistake to treat the Bible as God incarnate, where if one flaw exists the whole God is false.
It is like having a supermodel for a wife. Would you say she was ugly if she had a few zits?
Reject not the things of God because of the weaknesses of men.

Of course it COULD be. If I try to write what you just asked there's every chance I could miss the asterisk very easily and that might be important ... don't know.
Whether it is, or whether the Quran for example is a better record, is very doubtful, as there has by definition been the intervention of we flawed humans.

it's like a game of telephone.. the message gets distorted a little. but thanks to the efforts of many great scholars who are finding and researching ancient texts they are putting together the pieces.
YES it is the word of God but it has been distorted by various scribes, lost texts and emperors in a hurry to get an "official" bible. this is because it is written by man and man is not perfect.

Exactly! Every word has to be confirmed!
2:105. Neither those who disbelieve among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) nor Al-Mushrikûn (the disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh, idolaters, polytheists, pagans, etc.) like that there should be sent down unto you any good from your Lord.

Exactly but there's a twist to your point: it's the opinions of men promoted as "God's word" but at the same time I think that God managed to input it's wisdom through human writings; it's a matter of discerning bet. human wisdom & divine wisdom
