> If the Bible was written by an omniscient and all-powerful God, then why does it have so many inaccuracies in it?

This would be a very good gotcha for a religion that believed the Bible was written by God (or at least dictated verbatim) and that it was intended to be a purely literal factual account, neither of which are majority positions within Christian theology (Fundamentalism, in which close approximations of both are important defining beliefs, being a relatively new movement within Protestantism and not the mainstream of Christianity.)

Fair enough! But if God is all powerful and all knowing, he decided to make the bible incorrect. Why would he do that?
