There are many. I went to private religious operated schools from grade 1 through college. It's not like I haven't had thousands of hours of instruction in the Bible.
I believe its overall theme, but it contradicts itself numerous times.
The Bible is work of inspired men, but fallible men. If God wanted to shoot us a copy of His actual manual, I don't think that would be a problem for him.
He hasn't done that.
The reason the Bible seems to contradict its self is because their are two laws that are being talked about and the mainstream refuses to acknowldge it unless the learn says it so!
When one studies Moses you will again the Lord is given Moses the written word which is called a dispensation there have been serveral for the word keeps getting diluted by the slopful and the wolf in sheep clohting!
The first covenant Moses receive was rejected by the people it was called the higher law the restored covenant of Abraham which was for all eternity!
Than the second one Moses got which is called the Law of Moses was for time only meaning from the lesser law or covenant!

Some of these post do discuss the two type of Laws and why they seem to contradict if you don't know that there are two laws being talked about!
If Jesus as talking to those who favored the Law of Moses than he told them what they could expect as a reward and if it was for time they could have no increaseZ!
In Matt 19 you get a glimpse of eternity as talked about in verse 29 of Matt 9.
9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
In Matt 22 there is no way one could bound things on earth and heaven if they were living the lesser law!

Which means:
1. God is a failure, not onmipotent, not all-knowing, not and all-loving.
2. God gave us enough when he gave us the Church and the bible.
