Hello Everyone,
I have recently finished a round-trip tour of the Bible, and have discovered some obvious mistakes. The mistakes are nothing more than penmanship, and authorship errors. However, due to the large quantity I have found, I have come to the conclusion that the Bible can not be the infallible Word of God. Emphasis is on "infallible". I will demonstrate a few to show my findings. These are from my KJV. I use a facsimile of the 1611 KJV to ensure they are also similar. That allows me to rule out this particular Bible, as the reason for the mistake.
Some are simple numerical issues. Forget a number here, and one there.
1 Kings 4:26 "And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horseman."
2 Chronicles 9:25 "And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horesman."
Some are about how to live.
Proverbs 26:4-5 "Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his conciet."
Some are about our faith.
2 Kings 2:11 "And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven."
John 3:13 "And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven."
And one is about God. There are numerous sources and teachings that show that God is good. God cannot commit evil acts. But one chapter in Ezekiel has God speaking to Israel, and he says something odd.
Ezekiel 20:25 "Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live."
My study bible offers no commentary on that particular verse. I have found that people believe that God "gave them into their own evil practices" but, to my knowledge, that does not agree with the Hebrew text.
I am wondering if I am alone in this discovery, and is it wrong or bad to say that the bible is not 100% accurate?
Thank you very much in advanced. God bless!
