Every SINGLE person who authored, edited, or compiled the various books of the Bible was Human and subject to Human error.

If you do not have the faith to believe that all things are possible with God, it is your faith which is weak, not mine.

The Bible makes the claim for itself that it is inspired and preserved, which means that the humans involved in writing (not authoring) and editing it were supernaturally preserved from error and perfectly transmitted the message God wanted us to have.

Since you're arguing that all things are possible with God, then surely you have no problem accepting the perfect inspiration and preservation of Scripture, do you?

“For thine is the Kindom the Power and the Glory” was probably never said by Jesus.

However, you Protestants often use it as part of “The Lord’s Prayer” -—

The words are actually “gloss” from a Catholic Monk.

The Bible is subject to error on minor details.

The Bible is intended to teach us how to live, and not intended for any scientific or historical purpose outside of that Divine purpose!

The bible is generally accurate to a much higher extent than most history accounts. Nonetheless it is not protected by God from human error. One simple and obvious example should suffice: The NIB actually translates Isaiah 30:26 using the term "seven full days" as if what were meant was the notion of cramming seven days of light into one day; what the verse provably refers to is the seven days of intense light prior to the flood which are referred to also in Genesis 7:4. The NIB rendition is a total mistranslation.

No book of the New Testament really recognizes all of the other Books of the New Testament.

Therefore, the Bible itself, never really refers to itself.

The Bible was a creation of the Catholic Church.

The original Publisher of the Bible believes that Tradition and Scripture are equally valid, as tradition teaches us what was actually meant by the ancient words of Scriture.
