I have found some errors in the Bible, how can I report them to God to be fixed in the next edition?
Mostly just spelling and punctuation errors. Still, I thought the Bible was supposed to be inerrant.

Drop to you knees right now and pray while looking at your ceiling, telling him of the errors. If you are the first one, you might get a free pass to heaven since you helped him out.

The original writings were done without punctuation and was inerrant. Punctuation was later done by the translators of which there were many errors and required many revisions. Even today, they still don't have it right.

The KJV is full of errors and contradictions. Modern man had tried to hide these errors by rewriting the Bible several times over. This is why we now have many different versions of the bible in the same language.
Was Jehoiachin 8 or 18 when he became king?
2Ki 24:8 Jehoiachin [was] eighteen years old when he began to reign, ....
2Ch 36:9 Jehoiachin [was] eight years old when he began to reign, ....
Was Ahaziah 22 or 42 when he became king?
2Ki 8:26 Two and twenty years old [was] Ahaziah when he began to reign; ....
2Ch 22:2 Forty and two years old [was] Ahaziah when he began to reign, ....
That's just two examples, there are many more.

That's going to be a LONG list.
Did you notice that the gospels don't agree on when Jesus was killed? Some say before the Passover Meal, some say after.
Did you notice how they don't agree on who looked into the tomb, and don't agree on what those people saw and did?
And thousands of more internal contradictions and geographic errors and anachronisms...

You've missed the wood for the trees there.
P.S
You're picking on spelling and punctuation and overlooking stories like Genesis, Garden of Eden, Noah's Ark, talking animals etc...........

prove it,
You must be reading a poor translation
read the KJV, and if you find something you think is wrong, you are wrong
the KJV is the 7th manuscript revision and is perfect.
Psalms 12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

You would think that anytime someone wrote a BIBLE it would have God's version of AUTO CORRECT.

@Vin, so there are multiple versions (written by different people) of a book that is supposedly written by god?
