The English King James Bible printed 1611 is perfect, no errors down to the very numbers, another proof Deut. 16:11.

This video recently proves it.

That is a lie, and we both know it. There are numerous translation errors, unless you are prepared to tell me that God classifies bats as birds, pi equals 3, and that there were wine bottles made of glass in first century Israel.

@Carazaa Pity they - and you in your verifying the translations of translations - kept missing the one about pi, then! :-)

[Early architectural gilders would not bothered about 3.141592654,,, X D; but may well have known the Circumference is never 3 X Diameter! Their columns were unlikely to have been very accurately cut anyway. They'd most likely have done what you or I would do: wrap the leaf around the column and cut it along the overlap! It wasn't the craftsmen who wrote the story though, but some scribe and later translators with a pernickety view of perfection, who put their own error in it.

The Mediaeval transcribers had two attitudes to Biblical times and lands, preventing any critical examination; so they would not have simply dropped this silly geometrical mistake. The first was an unfailing faith in scriptural "accuracy" and their own abilities. The second was thinking the pre-Christian places and cultures were no different from their own, as Mediaeval art strikingly shows. We know it is a mistake, just as we know some OT passages are pure myths or allegories; but keep it for purely poetic and historical reasons.

Glass bottles? I don't know, but I think the Romans did have glass; so perhaps hand-blown glass bottles in the lands they occupied or traded with, were feasible. They did know pottery-glazing and used it for example, in making mosaic-tiles, so the Biblical reference might be a misinterpretation of [i]glazed[/i] rather than glass as such. ]

Leviticus 11:13, [i]King James version:[/i]
[quote]13 “‘These are the birds you are to regard as unclean and not eat because they are unclean: the eagle,[a] the vulture, the black vulture, 14 the red kite, any kind of black kite, 15 any kind of raven, 16 the horned owl, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk, 17 the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl, 18 the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey, 19 the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe [c=800000]and the bat.[/c][/quote]
Emphasis mine, obviously. However, this proves that the Bible you claim is absolutely perfect lists the bat as a sort of bird.

Then tell me which version of this verse is accurate, considering the availability of glass in the first century.
Luke 5:37

KJV:
"And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish."

NKJV:

"And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined."

[quote]You have been deceived![/quote]
No. Your deception has failed.

Update: Edited to remove erroneously included duplicate paragraph, with my apologies for the error.
