What does "... in order to know for certain which are god's words and which are mistakes." mean?
I'll try again. We can perfect our learning the true doctrine of the Bible, by correcting errors made with the Bible. By exercising discipline with the Bible to make an accurate correction of errors, we learn more exactly what God is in fact saying.
The Spirit guiding believers into all truth, is guiding us into all the truth of the Bible. Part of that guidance is by the necessity of perfectly correcting errors by the Bible's exact words.
It helps us to be less sloppy with what God's words, by compelling us to make an honest correction of errors.
Ex: I once believed that God now makes man with lust and sin in us from the womb (which at face value is an obvious lie and accusation against Christ our Maker), by passing lust and sin into our bodies through a so-called sinful seed of 'Adam'. I also believed the Scripture for it was that "sin passed upon us, and by sin, death".
So When I saw a fair challenge to the whole Christian tradition and lie of 'man born with sin nature to sin", I went to look at the verse myself, and lo and behold, I realized that's not what it's saying at all. Instead, Rom 5:12 says that sin enters into the world
by man sinning, not that sin passes upon man by being born with it. And it's the death to God that actually passes upon a man
by sinning and dying to God. And only because all men have sinned, have all men died to God in this life, save one.
And so I was greatly corrected in the exact teaching of the Bible, by having my own error challenged and rightly rejected. I have since also learned that some Christians don't really believe
all the words of the Bible as written, if any words disrupt their most favorite pet teachings and traditions. They prefer to believe a lie to convince themselves that the Bible is saying what they want to think the Bible says. This is how some readers want God to agree with them, lest we must change to agree with God.
This is especially true when any comfort blanket for continued sinning would be yanked away from their eyes, and they would know the commandment of God is true, that we must
first repent of sinning, in order to receive the promised NT saving faith, pure heart, and life lived with Jesus Christ.
And yet some of the unrepented Christian sinners trust entirely in their doctrinal tradition and lie, that man is born with lust and sin, so that all men must sin, and shall do so from cradle to grave. They therefore declare it is impossible for any man (like themselves) to repent of all sinning and walk in all holiness as Jesus walked. And, no matter how many times I quote the Scripture to them, they still keep their justifying veil over their eyes, and seal to their own consciences, that
lust and sin passes upon all men from 'sinful' seed of man.
I thought you were claiming no mistakes.
Just like Bible discipline, if you'd like to quote any of my words making you think that, then we can look at it together. This is why sound correction is good. It exercises us in being more perfectly clear about what we say as well as what the Bible really says.
The word "Easter" is in the KJV of the Bible. Is that God's word or humankind's mistake?
It should say Passover.
It's a Christian tradition translated into the Bible.
When I say the Bible is God's unerring Book of His own words, I'm certainly not talking about translations made from those unerring words.
However, we ought understand the difference between harmless translations, that are not exactly correct, and wicked translations meant solely to corrupt the words and doctrine of God.
That's why some false teachers go to the Greek and Hebrew for that very purpose. It's especially true with some going to 'manuscript arguments', in order to throw our whole verses of the Bible, that disagrees with their personal traditions and lies. It's all just the mechanical means and games with words, that fulfill the rebuke of Jesus to blind guides:
And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
The unbelieving Jews did it to Jesus Himself.
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
And the unbelieving Christians do it to the doctrine of Christ Himself. They do it on purpose in order to change the commandment and doctrine of God into something more acceptable to their sinful living, so as to soothe their defiled consciences with commandments from their christ to keep sinning.
That's the case when someone wants to believe their christ made them sinners from the womb, and cannot cease sinning unto the grave. By nature, they preach a christ that makes all men sinners at the start, so that they must continue sinning unto the end.
That of course is not Jesus Christ nor His doctrine and commandment in the Bible to repent and go sin no more. The only christ making men sinful from the womb, is another christ called the god of this world. Now
he just loves it if men were sinners from the womb and especially if all men would sin more and more unto the grave.
But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls:
Acts 12:4 KJV
And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions
of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.

Ok, you can translate the true words of God more accurately and say,
"intending after the Passover to bring him..."
Since it doesn't change the doctrine of God, then it's no biggy to me.
Once again, I argue for the preserved exact words God has given to all His prophets and apostles, not any specific trasnlation. However, God has ensured His exact doctrine of repentance unto salvation, justification, righteous living, and resurrection from the dead unto everlasting life, has indeed been properly translated into all languages of men, so that any child can read, understand, believe,
and do the words of God in Christ Jesus.
The very idea of needing to 'wait', until we are linguists and manuscript scholars to hear, repent, and do the word of the Lord, is of course absurd.
Theirs a longtime ongoing argument among Muslims that say all Muslims must learn to read Mohamet in the 'original' Arab, in order to understand his words and become a 'real' Muslim. They may be true and matters not, since all such religions are doomed with failure in the end. Such an argument ought not be made in Christianity with God's Bible.
