There are no mistakes in the Word of God.

The Word of God is not the characters that make up language but rather ther precepts that God transmits to man through the vehicle of these character and language. There are no conceptual errors in the Word of God.

The technical erros that Ray and others have shown are not errors in the precepts that God is transmitting but insignificant errors that do no detract from God Word

Here is an analogy that may help.
If you wrap beautiful and expensive crystals in wrapping paper and ship them to a distant destination, will you be concerned with the wrapping paper or the vehicle that the wrapping paper was carried in more than the crystals? No, you are simply concerned with the crystals.

The vehicle is the culture that the precepts are set in and the wrapping paper is the language that is used to transmit the precepts.

God has used the language and cultures of the ancient Hebrews and Greeks to transmit his precepts to mankind. The cultures and languages of Greece and ancient Israel were imperfect but the precepts of God contained and transmitted herein were and are perfect.

The fundamental errors of Mohammad in the Koran are not technical errors of culture and language but fundamental conceptual errors that change the infallible word or precepts of God.

Without the Holy Spirit of God, you cannot understand the Word or precepts of God. This is why I will only discuss the precepts of God that can bring you to salvation and a baptism in the Holy Ghost rather than discuss precepts you cannot understand without the aid of God.
