Actually it worked rather well for those of us who are thankful someone exposed the errors of those who were lying about what God really says.
Promoting books with errors like the following doesn’t add to confidence in the truthfulness of Christianity.
Tobit claims to have been alive when Jeroboam revolted in 931 B.C. and 210 years later when Assyria conquered Israel in 721 B.C. Then it says in Tobit 14 that he was 112 when he died. Oops!
In Judith we find an error of who Nebuchadnezzar was King of.
Judith 1:1 While King Nebuchadnezzar was ruling over the Assyrians from his capital city of Nineveh,
Nebuchadnezzar didn’t rule over the Assyrians he was King over Babylonia.
2 Kings 24:1 While Jehoiakim was king, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia invaded Judah
Why would anyone rely on books with obvious errors? The Holy Spirit inspired books have never been shown to have errors. The Catholic Church uses books with obvious errors to try to prop up their own errors.
Like I said earlier. I’ll stay with the books which have never been shown to have errors.
Any thesis on errors that excludes Luther’s addition of ‘alone’ and his other “improvements” seems doomed from the start...
Then you similarly reject the books of Genesis and Exodus because of conflicting scientific and archaeological evidence or are you content that are right, just not yet proven scientifically?
