There are no discrepancies in Scripture; it is only the limited, finite mind of man that cannot understand the Word of God without the help of the Holy Spirit which ignorantly believes that God made mistakes, or there are errors, or the Bible contradicts itself. It is only arrogant, puny, man who thinks that he has everything figured out and who has the arrogance to suggest that God messed up when He wrote Scripture who would seriously suggest that the Bible isn't true.
For the final time, Scripture can only be understood by those who have a personal relationship with Christ and therefore have access to the Holy Spirit, and therefore have Scripture interpreted and revealed to them by the One Whose job it is to do that.
If you can't see that after I've repeated it numerous times on this thread, then there is really nothing more I can say.
The essence of your position is your foundational, unassailable faith.
Your faith is your truth.
1.2 billion Muslims don’t accept your doctrinal faith as absolute truth. Nor do billions of Buddhists, Hindus, Jews, Sikhs etc. Nor do hundreds of millions of Catholics, Russian and Greek Orthodox, Mormons etc.
The most strident practitioners of those sects absolutely KNOW that their faith is universal truth, their scripture is God’s word, their rituals are sacred. You’re not going to persuade them otherwise.
You know that you are right. They know that they are right. So ... ?????
Faith is not measurable by empirical scientific methodology. It’s personal and private. You and I have no standing to judge the fidelity of George W. Bush’s Christian commitment and faith. Christ didn’t spend a lot of time in his ministry revisiting and verifying yarns from the Old Testament.
I consider George W. Bush a fine Christian from his words and deeds. That, more than anything, fueled the pathological hatred the leftists harbored for him these past seven years. When the soulless, secular nihilists of the international left heard him name “Jesus Christ” as the political philosopher he most admired he became their blood enemy forever more.
So, I’m sanguine that George W. Bush is on track with his spiritual journey and it has been a blessing to us all.

May the Lord bless you true knowledge of His love and the simplicity of His Gospel.
