Often there is no way to tell if either is accurate if you mean historically, yet both could be accurate within the context of that story.
This is not a matter of semantics but rather understanding the nature of the Bible. You need to remember that it is an edited and redacted anthology of anthologies. It is NOT some monolithic structure.
Let me give you an example. In the OP you mention several examples. One is the last words of Jesus in Matt, Luke and John. Yes, what is recorded in each of the stories is different, but within the context of each story it is literally what the author of Matt, or Luke or John has Jesus say last.
They are different stories, there is no need for them to be internally consistent.
Genesis 1 and Genesis 2&3 are again, different stories written hundreds of years apart (maybe thousands) and in both stories, creation itself is simply a plot device. They were written by two different cultures to serve two different purposes and both accounts are literal accurate (as far as we can tell) but neither is accurate.
Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!
