RE: Amazing resources from Wikipedia.
It's just a bunch of revisionist "history", with religion thrown in. (Not Wiki)
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

RE: Amazing resources from Wikipedia.
The thing about Wikipedia (in my opinion, positive) is that minority viewpoints are allowed to be expressed; still, it is clear from the articles that very few scholars are inerrantists, who believe the Bible to be "without error".  Certainly, no mainstream scholar at the 3K+ 4-year institutions in the United States holds to such a POV.

I’m just guessing, but you wouldn’t believe my motorcycle trips either, by this reasoning (or work trips for that matter).

This seems like a minor and meaningless quibble, which is easily explained.

If you said that you were abducted by aliens, I just might believe.

That seems more like a dodge and doesn’t address the topic.

You have a point.  Perhaps like most men fucking jesus simply wouldn't ask for directions?

Clear evidence is presented in both of my OP links that demonstrate, beyond any doubt whatsoever, that the Gospels and Acts contain historical errors.

Perhaps, but I was commenting on the example that you chose to post. If you had a better argument (edit -clear evidence), it’s curious why you didn’t go with that.
