The Bible does not contain any errors on its own. It is likely that we're (people) made an error than the Bible through a faulty manuscript, wrong translation or misunderstood.

Four on the seven most common errors made by critcs:

1. Assuming Diverdent Accounts are Contradictory - most common angels at the tomb
2. Failing to Understand the Context of the Passage - The fool has said in his heart, 'there is no God' vs 'there is no God' = taken out of context
3. Presuming Bible Approvals of All That it Records - common polygamy of Solomon (God did not approve, just stating the situation) - 1 Kings 11:3
4. Forgeting the Bible is Human Book - writting from human perpective like the sun rising and falling - Joshua 1:15

Fallible people guided by the Holy Spirit can certainly write a book without error

To this day, after 2,000 years of looking, no one has found a irreconcilable proble. This is truely amazing coming from 40 authors over a 1,500 year period

Its not the parts of the Bible I don't understand that bothers me - but the parts I do understand - Mark Twain

Since the Bible is the standard of truth, anything that contradicts a teaching in the Bible is false. 

The revealtion of Judaism is true, but incomplete without the New Testament

Islam has some truth, but it errs on fundamental teachings like the denial of the deity and the resurrection of Christ

Only the revealation of Christiansity is complete, inerrant Word of God

Key Phrase: Since the Bible is the standard of truth, anything that contradicts a teaching in the Bible is false
