It's only logiical that God would not incidte anyone, nevertheless, His own people
to sin against Him. It was Satan, indirectly.

There is very little mention of the Adversary's spiritual kingdom in the Old Testament and God took the blame. The secrecy of the Devil and his host of devil spirits was revealed when Christ came and which can be seen in the Gospels.
In the Jewish Faith, angels of the lord have no free will. The Satan is more like the prosecuting attorney rather than an opponent, trying to steal souls. That whole
"Devil and his host of Devil Spirits" is just to much like polytheism to me
To the Jewish faith and you perhaps, but not according to God and His Word which is all that matters.

I would have to that that is YOUR opinion, not God's. The entire concept of Satan , which came into the Jewish religion from the Persians, was changed by the Greek converts into Christianity. You declaration that it is God's word does not make it so.

There are over 5,600 Greek manuscripts containing all or part of the New Testament. Most of these manuscripts date to the Middle Ages. The oldest complete copy of the New Testament, the Codex Sinaiticus, dates to the 4th century. The earliest fragment of a New Testament book is the Rylands Library Papyrus P52 which dates to the mid 2nd century and is the size of a business card. Very early manuscripts are rare.

No two manuscripts are identical, except in the smallest fragments and the many manuscripts which preserve New Testament texts differ among themselves in many respects, with some estimates of 200,000 to 300,000 differences among the various manuscripts.[3] According to Ehrman,[4]

(Wikipedia - Biblical Inerrancy)

My opinion:

There is no such thing as an inerrant biblical text. Apologist and literalist who attempt to extract a perfect, word for word reading of the Bible do nothing but push those who might be on the fringe of religion into Agnostic or Athiest camps.

The Bible is a story. God did not write it. God did not "inspire" it with absolute truths. A diety who does such a poor job of inspiring a text so riddled with errors as the Holy Bible and then claims it to be "inerrant" is both inept and decietful.

The doctrine of inerrancy is not the problem. The problem is an unhealthy emphasis on either/or thinking (i.e., The Bible is true or false. The Bible is inerrant or erroneous.).
