There are some amusing responses to the sceptic's annotated bible linked from the SAB website. One of the best is
Are there any copyists' errors in the holy bible? in which the author attempts to prove that all bibles, even those versions which completely disagree with each other, are actually inerrant. Bizarre. For example:
quote:
"And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem" (2Ki 25:8).
"Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, which served the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem" (Jer 52:12).
This must be a copyists' error, they say, because in one case it is the seventh day and in the other it is the tenth, and therefore BOTH CANNOT BE CORRECT. But after a careful examination of these two passages we can find that Nebuzaradan came unto Jerusalem on the seventh day, and came into Jerusalem on the tenth day. It took him three days to enter into Jerusalem for some reason, which the Scriptures do not mention. Thus we see that these verses BOTH ARE CORRECT, and they are not the result of any copyists' error, for God "shalt preserve them from this generation for ever".
And they say scientists fudge the numbers!
