Well, Gen, in my experience, "contradictions" are in the eye of the beholder. I've learned that scripture is a coherent tapestry that only reinforces it's actual meaning with each thread. I'm sure I'll never plumb the depths of this tapestry.
And any perceived contradictions are indicative of my human inability to understand, not a failure of God Almighty to communicate what He wished. When i come across something I don't understand, I tuck it away for another time when the Lord will show me what it means.
Isn’t there just one?
One Bible full of contradictions as it was written by many different men. Please feel free to enlighten me.

God spoke through men; they wrote down what God instructed them to say. All Scripture
Is the inerrant, authoritative, all sufficient, everlasting Word of God, in its entirety!

Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?
