Exactly what kind of errors do you mean? Say, for example, in one part the bible says, "Duane ate 33 cheeseburgers," and then in a different part, clearly talking about the same event says, "Duane ate 44 cheeseburgers." (of course, neither I, nor cheeseburgers are in the bible - I only use this as an example of the type of error I'm talking about)

I mean, this sounds like it could be attributed to a typo, or maybe miscommunication as the story was handed down, etc. My point is, do you consider this type of inconsistency acceptable? Or would there be an explanation required to show that there aren't two contradictory facts?

Here's one:

2 Kings 8:26 says "Two and twenty years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign...", but 2 Chronicles 22:2 says "Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign..."

See what I mean? Let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Duane
