This question might seem harsh but this is normal question got to my head after reading and seeing that some people respect Tradition more than they respect the Bible.
My question is, if the Bible is full of historical errors, if the Bible is man's word not God's word, if the Bible is not good enough, why do I need it ? Seriously, why do I need the Bible ? Why should I bother reading it if it is not good enough ? If the Bible is a book full of errors, then it could also be full of moral and theological errors, why would it have these errors and not the other ?
What do you think ?

Jesus only real instruction for the disciples mission was to go and tell what they had seen him do, and heard him teach, and so the Bible is a tool that we use to that end.
The fact is that Jesus studied it too as far as what we now call the Old Testament.
What we do with that knowledge is open to interpretation, but there is hope when we have faith in Him, and not in men who are subject to errors. This is not to say we should not try to respect those Elders who have written and taught what they believed, but it is subject to errors, and everyone argues who is right and wrong among Christian faiths.
If we choose among them we must not puff ourselves up as better than others, have faith in Him and trust in his Judgement for all who are faithful in Him.
And do not fear men , only fear God. We should humble ourselves to his judgement and mercy.
◄ Matthew 10:28 ►
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

Persecutors are worse than beasts, in that they prey upon those of their own kind. The strongest bonds of love and duty, have often been broken through from enmity against Christ. Sufferings from friends and relations are very grievous; nothing cuts more. It appears plainly, that all who will live godly in Christ Jesus must suffer persecution; and we must expect to enter into the kingdom of God through many tribulations. With these predictions of trouble, are counsels and comforts for a time of trial. The disciples of Christ are hated and persecuted as serpents, and their ruin is sought, and they need the serpent's wisdom. Be ye harmless as doves. Not only, do nobody any hurt, but bear nobody any ill-will.
