Maybe it does do this, but only until the Christian starts to ask if there is a coherent way of formulating the idea that it both contains errors and comes from god (who of course does not propound error). Are you aware of a formula that successfully does this.
Well as I said in my post it is of the Christian belief that the church comes from God, but is run by man and thus while important for the furthering of God's kingdom is liable to the fallibility of man. Likewise the Bible comes from God, but is written by man and while useful as a god inspired tool for the furthering of God's kingdom is still subject to author biased and misrepresentations of historical facts.
