There are certainly many mistranslations in various versions of what is considered to the the collection of scriptural writings that make up the words of what we call the Bible.

There are also a number of writings identified as being contemporary with some of the authorship of the Bible, that were deliberately NOT included. Apocrypha are works, usually written works, that are of unknown authorship, or of doubtful authenticity, or spurious, or not considered to be within a particular interpretation or consistent with other documentation.

"The idea that God errs in any way, in any place, or in any endeavor is repugnant to the mind as well as the soul. Here, biblical criticism reaches the nadir of biblical vandalism."

How could any sentient creature conceive of a formula that speaks of the Word of God as errant? It would seem obvious that if a book is the Word of God, it does not (indeed, cannot) err. If it errs, then it is not (indeed, cannot be) the Word of God.

This is why we KNOW that the Apocryphal/Deuterocananical books are not Divinely inspired scripture. God doesn't make mistakes.
