Of course, with all the multiple translations you don't seriously think you have the pure version.

it is the preconceived bias to push aside all the contradictions with your previous shaped rationalization that's interior the way of the unquestionably nonbiased look. A nonbiased look might exhibit that the bible is full of blunders, contradictions and discrepencies. it is in uncomplicated terms with the introduction of your bias which you will push aside issues like easy being created in the past the celebrities as in uncomplicated terms some extraordinary way of announcing another fact. you're forgetting how uncomplicated that's to interpret a similar ingredient in a different way. and that's the difficulty. If the bible improve into so desirable, it would not be open to those different interpretations. making use of this argument, you may declare something is "desirable," you may push aside any argument. And any scientist might permit you realize that an kind impervious to errors is not any kind in any respect. It would not clarify something if it explains away each little thing.

I believe the Bible as first given by God has no errors, contradictions, or discrepancies. Man through years of translating may have changed some words. languages that are living do change, but the central message of the Bible is still the same. When I have seen something that looks like a problem, I study it out. I find that I am the one in error.

Of course it does. Any manuscript contains errors as "man" is not perfect (man as in "man"uscript). Contradictions are abundant as you have several men describing events from different perspectives over the course of many years. I'm not going to get into a lengthy theological debate as this is not the proper forum. The answer to your question is, yes.

Certainly, and they're very easy to find.
The Bible was written by a variety of people, on three continents, over hundreds of years, in several different languages - it would be unreasonable to expect that they all got the details exactly the same.
What matters, though, is that they all got the *story* the same. The Bible is not a textbook, and it's unwise to read it like one. Instead, read it like a novel - look for the themes, the main ideas, the recurring phrases and concepts... because it was inspired by a fabulous Author.

The bible consists of several contradictions, discrepancies but no errors. It is up to you to decide which of the discrepancies or contradictions you choose to believe. You have a choice and the right one is usually best.

According to many religions and history itself, it does. It is a historic fact that the Bible has been changed many times, so who's to know what the original one contained? Kings have taken out or added their own parts and Peter even added a whole book based on his letters, how is that the word of God?

Sure, every book of the old & new testaments. Written hundreds of years after the alleged events. Other bibles/books/authorities have the same differences. But, its like they say; you either have faith or you don't from the fundamentalists to the open minded researchers.

Yes. It is a collect of stories written by many individuals. Humane error. It's biased. It's told as how that one person witnessed it. Other people may not have interpreted the same events, or happenings in the same way. All history is biased.

Yep. It ain't a history book. It ain't a science textbook. And parts of it are just plain PR hype (see especially Chronicles).
But, and it's an almighty BIG but; theologically it's accurate.
However He did it, God created everything, including us.
We sc****d up somehow or other and lost all rights and privileges as His children.
He sent His Son to get it back for us. Jesus did that through His death and resurrection.
Now all we gotta do is learn to do it Jesus' way, and we're home free.
Boy meets girl. They fall in love. Girl gets lost. Boy searches for girl with many adventures. Boy gets girl back, marries her and brings her home to Papa.
Hey, Scripture is a ROMANCE, people! Read the last chapters of Revelation!
