So to say that the original writings are sacred with no errors is a massive assumption.There are original manuscripts in Jerusalem. Soley written in hebrew. Once the bible started to be translated in english and other cultures, the words became more and more harder to figure out. Just remember, the words in ancient days didn't have the same meanings as we know them. You can walk into a Temple in Israel, and you can find the original manuscripts that have not been translated 6000 times.
1. A Holy Bible in Israel, Jesus said, "we must love God more than anyone, even our parents".
2. A Holy Bible in America, Jesus said, "we must hate our parents before we can be a disciple".
I can see how atheists criticize the bible for being an error.
If you want the truth about something.. how about going back to it's roots, instead of reading the words of God translated through an english dictionary? The language spoken in the bible no longer exists. I can see how modern translators could have screwed up.
