Can the bible be absolutely flawless

It appears that there are several mistakes
contained with in it.
The one about the generations not being
the same in the old testament and Matthew and Luke
make me belive it might not be absolutely literal.

<< For instance, could God have found another way to forgive mankind's sins other then to wait over 20 years for his son to develop, so that he could have him killed? Or, was this God's only option?>>

You have to refer to this god as 'Jaweh', if this conversation is to "evolve', and he was rather a vengeful wrathful kind of character, as god's go.

** as to God having The mythological character "Jesus" (The annointed one) Crucified, I always thought it was the money-lenders & Jewish Bussinessman who bought Judas for 30 pieces of silver? It also has one of them saying in the bible as well (Re: Judas) " I would have paid him 100 pieces of silver!"

One of the last acts of Jesus, that might actually be true(not fiction)
was to have gone to Jeruselem and kicked the money-lender's tables
over....That most assuredly sealed his fate. A week later he was crucified. Co-incidence? Act of God?

I don't think so...

(I think he was "messing around with the wrong people!") well money is the root of all evil, yes?

Well in The Revelation of John the word describes a system of buying and selling that could only be accomplished by computers. The technology is being developed today to fulfill what was written nearly 2,000 years ago.

Also the word says that in the last days (before Jesus's return) men will be leaving the bounds of there habitation (earth). Right again. Moon landing, space shuttle, orbiting habitats (labratories). Daniel.

There are descriptions of modern military equipment also. Chemical warfare, nuclear weapons.

No doubt some whiners will holler "prove it, prove it". Well pick up a bible and find it.

God doesn't make mistakes.
This begs the question, can God change his mind? Can he decide he has enough souls around and change the criteria for getting into heaven? Is there a binding contract here, after all if he flooded out everyone but a couple dozen people it implies that he changed his mind at least once. Can it be claimed that following the bible, even if it was written by God, is according to God's wishes today.
