How is The Bible perfect?

Answer 1

A:Whether to regard The Bible as perfect depends on what standards you wish to apply to it.

• Is what the Bible says always scientifically correct? No - for example, the order of creation is Genesis chapter 1 is incorrect and does not even make sense scientifically.
• Is what the Bible says always historically correct? No, there are many instances in which the biblical authors make historically inaccurate assertions.
• Does the Bible ever contain contradictions? Yes. There are often contradictions between information in one book and another, and even between two passages in the same book.
• Does the Bible contain doublets - two or more versions of the same story? Yes, and at most only one of them could be true.
• Are the books of the Bible always attributed to the correct authors, with no room for doubt about authorship? No. Many books are attributed to one author, but biblical scholars say that a completely different author or source (group of authors) actually wrote the book.
• Have any of the books of the Bible ever been altered or added to since first written? Yes, undoubtedly, and quite often.
• Did the New Testament authors rely on the Hebrew scriptures when looking for Old Testament references, or did they rely on the Septuagint, a flawed early Greek translation of the scriptures? They relied on the Septuagint and in some cases introduced errors from that mistranslation into their own works.

If these were some of the standards that you should apply to the Bible, then it is not perfect.
