Mistakes in the Bible

One reason the Bible establishes itself as being the Word of God is that it exposes the hidden heart-motives of mankind. It reveals that:

• He is in rebellion and loves to sin (Romans 3:10-18).
• He mocks the things of God because he loves lust (2 Peter 2:14, 3:3).
• He hates the light of the Bible because it exposes the darkness of his sinful heart (John 3:19-21).
• He thinks the things of God are foolish (1 Corinthians 2:14).
• He is hostile towards God (and will even deny His existence) because of His moral dictates (Romans 8:7).
• He is plagued every day by the fear of death (Hebrews 2:14, 15).

In his ignorance he searches for what he believes are “mistakes” in the Bible to justify his godless beliefs. He is like a man who diligently searches (with a magnifying glass) for a tiny fly dirt on the Mona Lisa, so that he can justify discarding the whole painting as junk.
