You can place your trust in what you feel you must, I will place my faith and trust in Jesus Christ - and the book that tells His story - the Bible.

And that's wonderful. Faith is a beautiful thing.

Faith is not the sum total of existence, though. And since you admit that the Bible contains factual errors, it is folly to pretend that it's a science textbook.

Scientific truths do not require "context to be taken into account."

Faith is a beautiful thing.

Not for me it isn't. It's like wearing waders filled with water. Cumbersome.

And since you admit that the Bible contains factual errors

I did not admit the Bible contains factual errors. I did state that there have been errors - the term "factual" is yours. If you go back and look at what errors may exist in English translations - you will find primarily that they are grammatical/ and other errors that go back to the 1611 KJV, and even to that volume's predecessor.

Thus the reason I use more th an one translation plus a Greek parallel - to conpare for myself.

I believe that the Bible that is available today contains zero errors of fact or content. Any possible errors are strictly related to printing/typographical errors.
