Arachnophilia,
Regarding your scenario of writing something in the bible...
If you write something that contradicts other writings in the bible, it would probably be noted by the reader and then investigated further.
Are you assuming that most people read the bible without ruminating the material?

I agree with the view that if we can't trust the bible in some areas, then why should we accept any of it.
Logically, if a book is the instrument for a perfect, all-powerful, all-knowing God to convey his message, wisdom, guidance to his creation, then he should be able to make it available to us in the form that he intended.

"Those were other messiah prophecies not fullfilled. Such as, world peace, the Messiah also must be married and have children, and have
years added onto his life.
So far, no person has met the following requirements to be the Messiah
Qualifications The successful candidate will have attributes that must include, but not necessarily be limited to, the following: 1. Be the seed (a direct descendant through the unbroken male line) of King David, through King Solomon (e.g., 2 Sam 7:12-16; Is 11:1; Jer 23:5, 30:9, 33:15; Ezek 34:23-24, 37:24) 2. Be a spiritual and military/political leader (e.g., Is 2:3, 11:2; Dan 7:14) 3. Be married and have children during his term (e.g., Ezek 46:16-17)"
Are you sure that Ezekiel 46 is talking about the Messiah?
Edit: Figured out how to quote inside blue box.
