Re: 3 Discrepencies
Copyist errors are few in number so they do not dismiss the Scriptures claim to be inspired.
​
How do you know that these are the only copying errors? Errors could have been made in numerous places that do not have a corresponding story in another book/area. Errors could have been made in each of different corresponding stories. The issue is...you don't know WHAT were copying errors and what weren't.

Re: Quirinius' Govership and The Census
Apostle writes:
​
Historians have suggested that Quirinius was governor at two seperate times, from 12 B.C. to 2 B.C and again at 6 A.D. A Latin inscription found in 1764 also seems to indicate this.
​
You are referring to "The Lapis Tiburtinus". One problem with this. This inscription doesn't even mention Quirinius.
​
The translation of this inscription that I found here says:
​
...KING BROUGHT INTO THE POWER OF...
AUGUSTUS AND THE ROMAN PEOPLE AND SENATE...
FOR THIS HONORED WITH TWO VICTORY CELEBRATIONS...
FOR THE SAME THING THE TRIUMPHAL DECORATION...
OBTAINED THE PROCONSULATE OF THE PROVINCE OF ASIA...
AGAIN OF THE DEIFIED AUGUSTUS SYRIA AND PH[OENICIA]...
