the whole thing of bible inerrancy proclamation poses a problem for me. The Judas example is but one of many conflicts. And if you begin trying to "fill in the gaps" then suddenly, like an activist judge, you begin to create an outcome or conclusion when in fact it may be in total error.

The bible is a document that chronicles the desires of God and the giving of his Son to bear our sins. However, there are conflicts and disagreements among scripture. And if there is a gap of information, that again is an error.

uhh... there is no conflict with Judas. A body hanging on a tree (and no one was going to touch him according to the law) and rotting until it starts bloating is going to have its guts spewed all over when it falls. Next?

People who merely dabble in the Bible often think there are conflicts. That's why you're supposed to study it daily, and pray for discernment... and don't buy one of the newer translations that fudge on meaning. I recommend the ASV (1901) edition, but it's hard to find. NASB is good, some people say "King James Only" but you end up going back to the greek and hebrew anyway to figure out what it meant. ASV is more literal but can be hard to read sometimes because of that. KJV is more poetic. IMHO.
