The only time I believe that the Bible could be wrong

It is not actually wrong, in consideration to the time that the Word is written. But if I wanted to scrutinise it, then wrong is wrong. Anyway, according to 1 King 7:23, "And he made the Sea of cast bronze, ten cubits from one brim to the other; it was completely round. Its height was five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference."

According to this verse, the diameter is 10 cubits. And the circumference is 30 cubits. So according to the formula "Circumference = Pi x Diameter." This implies that Pi is 3. A rough approximation of pi, this is correct. But if we consider the accuracy of it, then this is wrong le.

But of course, this can be argued in many ways. But well, just wanna write here. Cause it is amazing that the Bible also talks about mathematics too. The Bible talks about all aspects if you really read it carefully. :)
