Is that a totally different story, or a single discrepancy in the same story?
The Bible, after all, was written by humans. And translated into five zillion different languages. And taken into five zillion and four different contexts. That is why I interpret the bible very liberally. Knowing that some very corrupt people controlled access to the Bible for thousands of years, and that there are several versions of it now, make me unable to accept it as being true verbatim.
Again, I wonder if this is supposed to be some good reason not to have faith? I'm not convinced it is.
