ok, where are they, I want to see them.LOL...if you say so.
Please stick to the topicHow do we prove God exists anymore?
If you knew your history relating to your Bible then you'd know that many scriptures have been added or taken away from the original scripture, often by men not in a personal relationship with God.
If you knew of the extremely strict discipline and the over engineering of its day that went into transcribing the texts? You would not say that.
Copying was not done by one man, but a team that would double and triple check each others work. Only small segments at a time were transcribed. Its was very tedious and exacting work. They saw it as the very words of God. Only the highest educated and intelligent few were assigned this task.
" In order to keep from speaking the Lord's name in vain, Jews neglected to speak the Lord's name at all; this legality even extended to their copies of Old Testament. Jewish scribes copied their religious text with relentless accuracy. The copies were checked and rechecked and rechecked, and if a mistake was made in copying, the offending copy was immediately destroyed to keep it from being used as a master copy in the future. These checks were so exact that numerical values for the letters themselves were assigned, and then added up to ensure that each document had the same amount of each letter and added up to the same final sum.
The Jews were so particular about their holy texts, and held them in such high esteem, that when a copy had become to worn for regular use, it was actually interred in order to prevent it's use in profaning God's name, in accordance with the Third Commandment."

A ten year old can understand the difference between the Bible (what's written in the Hebrew and Greek) and what a translation is from the Hebrew and Greek.
They can be reasoned with. They can be told that some man/woman translating from the original language made an error in a passage. They can then be shown how a corrected translation was created to solve the problem.
Ten year olds have no sexual sins or hang ups to protect. They can listen and accept correction a lot quicker than many adults on this sort of matter, who have a motivation to disprove the Bible. For children have no ax to grind with the Word of God to protect and guard their sexual sins.
To them it would be no big deal.
OK... I get it. Someone translated wrong. That's a translation of the Bible into English, not the original Bible. OK... I understand.
And, I understand if the translation contains errors? It will be corrected in time by other men, so we can better know the Bible in English.
OK... May I go out and play now?
If a punction mark is put in the wrong place, that means there is an error. A 10 year old knows that error is the opposite to inerrant. Do I need to point you to a dictionary?If you're aware that there no punctuation exists, then it's awfully silly of you to claim that there's a punctuation error.
Since we have the original texts or, in some cases, faithful copies of them, it's up to you to examine them and tell us where the errors are.

If someone is making a copy of as masterpiece. And, one brush stroke is off? Does that negate to authenticity of the original? You are consistently missing the point on this. The original would negate the erroneous copy, and the erroneous copy was always destroyed.
The original texts were copied during an era by men who where of the highest qualifications. Those men if living today today would be rocket scientists. They did not have rockets back then. Remember? Only the best minds were used to transcribe the original texts to new copies.
It was not a single man effort. It was a team of men.. checking - and rechecking against the original. Each letter was given a mathematical value. Sentences were added up and the number had to match the one of the original. It was a very exacting and intense method of copying.
