Also, when we speak of the bible being inspired, we are referring to the original texts. I'm sure there have been some errors in translation, but the Holy Spirit guides his church. Do you think that God just left us alone with a collection of books? When I first became a christian, I hadn't read most of bible yet, but I was still a christian.
So what you're saying is that the tenets of your faith have been handled by imperfect humans mentally, on their reception and writing, and further, handled by imperfect humans in translating into myriad languages, and further handled by flawed human minds upon reading.
I'm sure everything worked perfectly in that chain of events, and that nothing important was lost. I mean, why else would there be literally thousands of Christian sects?
