Biblical Flaws— You think there aren't any?
First flaw: God really doesn't see everything, nor is he everywhere as the books of Jeremiah, Proverbs and Hebrews would suggest.
Proof of flaw: Exodus 12:13. "And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt."
Description of flaw: The Israelites have to mark their houses with blood in order for God to see which houses they occupy and "pass over" them. Would an all-seeing and all-knowing God have to do this? What were his reasons? None were given. The only conclusion is that he doesn't see everything, and he isn't everywhere, and he doesn't know everything.
Second flaw: God is not omniscient (all-knowing.)
Proof of flaw: Genesis 6:5-6. "And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart."
Description of flaw: God was not pleased with his creation. In which, that God should be displeased is inconsistent with the concept of omniscience.
Third flaw: Believers can do anything they want.
Proof of flaw: Mark 16:17-18. "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."
Description of flaw: A believer can handle snakes or drink poison and not experience any harm. Try it yourself.

How about the fact that the passages that were written about moses were written centuries after his death, yet they described events in detail that only a person who was there could do, meaningmost of it was made up. Moses is just an ancient version of Paul Bunion.

One of the commandments says says not to kill, yet Moses orders his men to kill mothers, male children, and then orders them to rape female children, in Numbers.

God purposefully gave out bad laws. By this, it's safe to assume that God-given laws or commandments are sometimes suspect.

God didnt forsee Adam and Eve eating the apple, he didnt forsee Lucifer betraying him. Hell, Lucifer knows god a hell of a lot better then we do. If Lucifer thought he could take god God must be a shitload weaker then we thought.

Every known biblical account of Jesus' life is second hand and were written almost three decades after his death.
EDIT: In addition, the earliest extra-biblical mention of Jesus is found almost one century after his death.

Point made, David, but on the subject of biblical flaws involving Jesus (and you):

And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
For with God nothing shall be impossible.
And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

The angel who appears to Mary to foretell the birth of Jesus says that Jesus will be given the throne of David, that he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and that his kingdom will never end.
