Like what verses?
John 5: 7/8.
Here is a pretty good history of those verses.
Here's the problem with them. If the bible is truly inerrant, then no version of it would have any level of error in it. The very fact that there are many different versions of the bible messes that one up. But you go read this, and consider: if the Johannine Comma was erroneously included, then there goes 'inerrancy.' If it was always supposed to be there, there are many, many, early Greek manuscripts that do not include them, and many modern versions that do not include them. It is pretty widely accepted that they were not included by the writer of this epistle of John. Ergo, either way, not inerrant.
For me, not a problem. I don't NEED the bible to be utterly inerrant in order for me to believe that it is scripture and contains the word of God. It's only a problem for those whose belief in the Bible escalated to, well...bibliolatry, in that they would ignore any problems even if Jesus Himself decided to correct a problem, or who, when they are forced to acknowledge that the Bible we have might have errors, throw everything out and are broken.
Be more specific. What discovered the "error"?
Innerancy of the message in the Bible! Not typo errors! Despite typo glitches - the fact is nothing had changed the consistency of the message given in the Bible.
Moving the goal posts there.
Do you believe the Bible came from God (through various authors)?
Being the Book that He's given to mankind (to know and understand Him) - you don't believe God protects the Bible?
Look how long it had endured - when all other ancient books of other religion(s) had gone.
Uh, no. Hinduism's Rig Veda is older.
You don't think God will continue to protect it?
Why, yes. Which is why, if Jesus Himself came down to tell me that there were errors in it...or if God called a prophet to tell us there were problems, I would listen.[/QUOTE]
