[[Take two simple examples. Check the gospels for the following facts. Check each gospel.
What was written on the sign above Jesus when he was crucified?]]
Two points mlo- The bible was the INSPIRED word of God, which meant htta God inspired EACH writer to write HIS word- Second, there were a coupel of signs above Christ’s head- written by Pilot, in each language, which read differently
You no doubt are getting your ‘biblical errors’ fro mwebsites already set up that hope to tear down God’s word, but I assure you that each and every supposed ‘contraditcion’ mentioned on those sites has been refuted biblically- showing that you really shouldn’t be gettign your ‘amunition’ from such antiChristian sites because they can’t be relied upon to tel lyou the TRUTH in the first place.
Here’s a coupel of links for you

There are many great sites o nthe net that have refuted those supposed ‘contradictions’ and which more fulyl explain just what ‘inspired’ word of God means- Each writer had somethign akin to ‘artistic liscence’, yet were constrained by the actual inspiration of God’s own ‘breathed word’ that He commanded htem to write.
If you’re looking to refute the creation account by pointing to some supposed ‘contradictions’ about what the sign above Christ said, and the fact that each writer used a slightly different twist, then you’re not arming yourself with very solid ammunition I’m afraid-
Scripture is full of references which clearly state that God’s word is inspired, and God breathed, and that every word of it is- And quite frankly, there is simply no reason why God couldn’t have inspired different wording through different writers abotu hte same events
When Christ comes back, He will be seen by EVERYONE and EVERYONE will hear His word all at hte same time- Now, do you suppose He will pause after He says soemthign, then say it another language, and hten another and so on and so forth? Or do you imagine God is big enouigh that He speaks a universal language that we can all understand as He says it? Or do you think that Christ’s return is just another ‘story’ that can’t be beleived?
But that's the subject of this article, and you are making the same point I'm making, and that Bush made. Every word is not literal truth.

In fact, no. I'm not.
but I assure you that each and every supposed contraditcion mentioned on those sites has been refuted biblically...
It simply isn't possible to refute some things. If someone says 2 + 2 = 5, and someone else objects, it isn't possible to truthfully refute that objection. 2 + 2 does not equal 5, no matter how anyone tried to "interpret" it.
The same is true with the examples I gave. One gospel specifically cites three people to whom Peter denied Jesus. Another gospel does the same, but they are not the same three people. That can't be reconciled. At least one version is wrong.

That's not what I'm doing. I'm addressing the point of this thread, which is, is the Bible literally true? Clearly, you agree with me that it is not.
