1) You assume the thing you call the Bible is exactly God's Word.
2) I believe some of the thing in what we call the Bible are not completely inspired but still truth. Truth is truth inspired directly by God or not.
3) I don't depend upon the mentality of tradition to say "this is it". The idea that everyone has always accepted THESE exact scriptures we call the Bible as God's Word is not correct. Could it be? Yes! Could it not? Yes! Cold it be partial? Yes! The point is lean not unto your own understanding and in all thy ways acknowldege him and he will direct your paths. Perfect or imperfect it's all about his leading anyway.
4) depending on bible translators picking and choosing texts is error in itself.
5) God's Word is spoken plenty enough to come to a conclusion on the important things error or no error.
6) one of the most ammusing things is people who ignore that the early church had arguments within the church and they also had harmony in many areas. Quite ignoring one for the other.
7) each author must be evaluated on there own testimony and whether it lines up with scripture as a whole.
8) The OT clearly is of authority and testified to by everyone as THE WORD OF GOD thus it is exempt, except for translation issues and doctrinal assumptions of NT writers of what it meant.
