Experts are people who know everything that is known about a subject, but when
it comes to what is not known, they are not really experts anymore. They are
just more likely to be able to figure out the unknown information than amateurs.
I think thousands of years ago many quotes of the Hebrew Bible were forgotten
and misunderstood. When the scribes were writing out the Bible, they did not
understand some quotes and they had to guess the meanings. I think they made
many mistakes that were accepted over time until there were no manuscripts with
the correct original version.
Some people say that there are mistakes in the Hebrew Bible, but if you check
the ancient manuscripts, you can find the correct version of everything
somewhere. I think that is not true. I think mistakes mistakes might have been
completely accepted as correct by people thousands of years ago.
I have heard some scholars and scholarly types say that they only believe what
the "data" in the Hebrew Bible shows, but the Hebrew Bible was passed down by
people, so human nature has to be considered. The "data" in the Hebrew Bible
could be corrupted and almost useless in some quotes. So as an ignorant and
arrogant amateur, I have done my own "textual criticism" of the Hebrew Bible
that you can see at my site. You can read my "book" called "Messianic Mistakes
and Misunderstandings: Why Judaism and Christianity are both wrong about the
most controversial quotes in the Hebrew Bible."

I suppose you will ignore my ideas as stupid guesses, but that is OK with me.
