What errors ?
The ones I was talking about are like spelling etc ...
And what questions really do you want me to try and answer?
The supposed contradictions come from someone not wanting to read it in context and cross reference etc ..the bible is very deep and some things in it are allegorys,dual fulfillments,parables and hidden meanings,require deep understanding etc etc ......
It cannot be read like just a book.
And about your question on whether or not I would just dump a book that had a small error in it or maybe even a few errors ..NO I WOULDNT ...I would try and find out why those errors were made and if in fact they were errors or maybe it is coded as to its meanings ..or whatever I would investigate as much as I could before just tossing it as hearsay ..
I would also just try and skip over what I thought was untrue and GLEAN what truths out of their story that I could ..I take what truths they wrote and toss the other aside .. ..I would finish the WHOLE book ...and then reread it to make sure I read it right (with the mistakes that may have looked like mistakes but maybe were not mistakes at all ) maybe it was just my measly little brain that didnt understand it ...I am not a narcissistic thinker like some may be around here ...I leave room for the fact that I COULD HAVE READ IT ALL WRONG and TAKEN IT ALL WRONG ....(waith any book I read)
Take the UFO stuff
I DONT BELIEVE IN THAT AT ALL ..as far as being real creatures from other planets ..But I dig into it as much as possible and give the believers the benefit of the doubt that they may really believe it to be true and maybe just maybe I am not being open minded enough to see it ..I admit I could be wrong ..And they certainly have contradictions in their sightings etc ..
But most definately something is being seen and there is something to the UFO situation ..I am not gonna toss the baby out with the bathwater ...just over a few supposed contradictions (or what I may have just thought were contradictions) that is just plain wrong to do ...for any of us to do ...
I am pretty sure that many supposed contradictions in many books,beliefs whatever could be explained away if I were to really take the time and dig deep into it ..I bet I would find out they were not contradictions at all ..But very deep deep things that I just didnt care to even look into it ....
