You really don't put much effort into understanding the Bible.

Try to read it hermeneutically, meaning in context. Also, get a Bible that does not compress 60,000+ foreign words into a mere 16,000 English ones (in the case of the New Testament).

You will never understand the truth in the Bible until you put in decent effort. I have found many things that seem contradictory at first later become entirely synergistic. A ridiculously simple, juvenile example is "peace through war." The immature says, "of course you cannot have peace with war!"

Well, if you read my third paragraph you'll see that the "contradictions" are irrelevant because they are not contradictions.
