Didn't people write the Bible, then how can it be reliable since men make mistakes?

All biblical mistakes are not do to any fallibity of God's word. Rather all have to do with men. Most such mistakes have to do with the readers failure to correctly understand what is being read. Some of this is do to issues of translation. And some have to do with known variant readings of translated manuscripts. You see inerrancy is with God and His word. Not the reader, not the translation, not the mere copies of manuscripts. In every case of a cited mistake, one or more of these three causes can be shown: Reader, translation, manuscript variant. Again it is God and His word which is inerrant, not man. (Psalm 119:89; 2 Timothy 3:16, 17.)
