Did you know that there are over 65,000 textual errors in the King James version of the Bible?
I can tell you unequivocally that some ‘facts’ about religion shouldn’t be stated in public.
But I’m willing to hear what you have to say: go ahead, tell me what Beck has gotten wrong.
Really????

Actually it isn’t nearly that many, and I don’t use the KJV. If you want a lesson on variants I can give you one.
Neither the errors of the KJV translators nor the variants make the Bible unreliable in matters of faith and doctrine like the LDS church (which beck belongs to) claims.
I also have several years (and degrees)of Biblical Hebrew, Koine Greek, Latin, Biblical Studies and Church History under my belt. Furthermore I used to be LDS, which is why I recognized LDS propaganda when the following first came out...
What did beck get wrong? This conversation has appeared on several threads and goes to show that a) he is brainwashed, b) he has no discernment in spiritual matters, and c) his research is sloppy.
22:40: Glenn: “…the Dead Sea Scrolls, you know what they are? Stu, do you know what the Dead Sea Scrolls are?
Stu: Well, of course I do…
Glenn: Now, c’mon, most people don’t.
Stu: Well, I heard of them, I don’t really know
Glenn: You don’t really know. You have no idea why they were there. Sara average person doesn’t know. Any idea, take a guess on why the Dead Sea Scrolls were there, or anything else.
Sara(?): Something religious.
Glenn: Okay, good. Even though I’ve explained this on this program a couple of times, I’m glad to see that even the people that work with me don’t even listen.
So here’s what happened. When Constantine decided that he was going to cobble together an army, he did the Council of Nicea, right, Pat?
Pat: Yea.
Glenn: The Council of Nicea, and what they did is brought all of the religious figures together, all the Christians and then they said, “Ok, let’s put together the Apostles’ Creed, let’s you know, you guys do it.”
So they brought all their religious scripture together, that’s when the Bible was first bound and everything else.
And then they said, “Anybody that disagrees with this is a heretic and off with their head!”
Well, that’s what the Dead Sea Scrolls are. The Dead Sea Scrolls are those scriptures that people had at the time that they said, “They are destroying all of this truth.”
Whether it’s truth or not is up to the individual, but at that time those people thought that this was something that needed to be preserved and so they rolled up the scrolls and put them in clay pots and they put them in the back of caves where no one could find them.
They were hidden scripture because everything was being destroyed that disagreed with the Council of Nicea and Constantine. That’s what those things are.”
I find that many people today never were satisfactorily exposed to that information, so it is hard for them to discern exactly what it is that they might lose under this encroaching socialism.
Glen lays it out there to be utilized when making judgments about the actions of our government and to aid us in changes we may want to make to the current regime.
At least it can be said that the info was out there for people if they wanted to avail themselves before making educated decisions.
Of course; we ASLL do!
That's why Joseph Smith cleaned them ALL out when HE retranslated the KJV!

Name some.
Sorry but that doesn't pass the smell test. A typical Bible is about 1,500 pages long which would mean approximately 40-45 errors per page.
