Actually, the Catholic site I found discussing it was a defense of why they should be included in Scripture. I never said that it was a site about the errors.
Also, why do you not respond to the rest of the post?
What do you say regarding the very same charges protestants make regarding the Apocrypha that atheists and others use against the ENTIRE Bible?
I cant’ answer the rest of your post now as I am off to work and will be too busy the rest of the day.
I will get to it though.
In the meantime, I will look forward to hearing what you have to say about “errors and contradictions” in even those books of the Bible you accept.
I am still waiting to hear what you have to say regarding the stoning of those who are adulterers and blasphemers.
You haven’t addressed those things from several posts earlier.
I dismiss them out of hand as having been proven false accusations. Any supposed “errors” in the original 66 books of the Bible have been proven to be based either on error of interpretation or error of taking all of scripture into account.

Well, let’s begin with looking at the authenticity of the inclusion of that story in scripture to begin with. There seems to be some doubt about it being in the original manuscripts.
When Dallas Theological Seminary professor Daniel Wallace examined New Testament manuscripts stored in the National Archive in Albania last June, he was amazed by what he did not find.
The story of the woman caught in adultery, usually found in John 7:53-8:11, was missing from three of the texts, and was out of place in a fourth, tacked on to the end of John's Gospel. [http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2008/aprilweb-only/117-31.0.html]
Even given that, the story was a test by the Pharisees. It was meant to trap Jesus. There was a dilemma facing the Pharisees in this passage. The Jewish law required death, but Roman law did not permit a death sentence for adultery. The Jews lived under Roman law. If they stoned the woman, they would be prosecuted for murder by the Romans. If they don't stone her to death, they are not following the Jewish law. Jesus, by handling it the way He did, diffused the situation and didn’t fall for the trap. Satan knew that if Jesus answered the question other then He did He would have been guilty of one law or the other.
The one lesson we can learn is that we must be careful answering questions that are meant to trap. It’s a tactic of Satan.
