First and foremost there is no book which is called Bible. In Greek language any book is a "Biblos", still Bible is the collection of several books, the canon of the Bible, say 72 or 73, there are reformers who reduced them to 66. The Jews themselves maintain the SEPTUAGIN.
There is NO contradiction whatsoever in the Bible. Contradiction means doing and not doing one thing at the same time.
The Bible is NOT God, neither God is the Bible. The Bible is the human initiative inspired by the Holy Spirit to understand God.
For example, The Book of Genesis have two accounts on the creation of man, this is because in the Yahwistic tradition they had different stories on the beginning of human being. There are those who favors the feminist approach - man and woman were made together, and there are those who favors male dominion - man was created first. At the end they agreed to incorporate both stories in the Bible.
In Hebrew tradition a question is answered by a question eg Jesus was asked are you a King of Jews, he answered by asking are you saying by yourself or someone has told you? Jesus was also asked is it legal to pay taxes? he answered by asking whose image is in the coin? etc etc.
The Bible is the book of faith and never a book of questions and answers!(Kiongozi cha mwalimu)
