a big problem if you believe that the Bible is the divinely inspired word of God
It seems to me that when God speaks through humans, he cannot speak truth, because human language cannot express truth. Likewise, two human statements can contradict, while both represent aspects of the underlying truth. To go even further, what God would say in 1024 is not what he would say in 2024, because the meaning of words and the context is different. So for me the bible contradicting itself doesn't conflict with the bible being the word of God.
