How can we trust the Bible if it contains some textual errors?


Even if the Bible's reputation of 98.5% accuracy rate from the original text is true, shouldn't we disregard it since it's not 100% accurate?

Would you disregard your science textbook if it has some spelling errors? How about classics like Homer, Origin of Species etc? Some of the printed copies might gave errors right?

I believe if one were to throw out the Bible for some mistakes introduced by men then we should be consistent and throw out all other books with even the slightest mistakes, else we're only holding double standards based on our own agendas.

So best to be prudent and examine the inspiration of the book rather than looking for perfection.
