If the Greek and Hebrew texts are the very Words of the Living God, then how do you get around the fact that there are errors in them?

If the Bible is inspired in its Teachings/Meanings only, then how do you get around the fact that there are many different understandings of major texts in the Bible?

Wait till you take Doctrine of Revelation with Dr. Gamble at RPTS. You'll be blown away by the way he destroys this fallacy.
Not fair!

Now you have me salivating, and I will have to bother Dr. Gamble about this!

To those who hold to the Textus Receptus (including me):

If inspiration goes to the very words of the Hebrew and Greek, then how do you explain the many differences/errors found in the TR?

To those who hold to the Critical Text:

If inspiration only penetrates to the meaning of the text, and the words themselves are not important, then how do you explain the many different "meanings" found in the many different texts in your heritage? NIV, TNIV, Good News, RSV, NRSV, ESV, CEV, NASB, etc...
