It's not a word game -it's simple logic. Here is a rough definition: Opposing propositions "A" and "B" cannot both be true in the same sense and in the same relationship. This is the Law of Non-Contradiction. It is this same Law that mandates that both the god of islam and Jesus Christ cannot BOTH be real (someone please tell George Bush).
To answer your question, no it would not destroy my faith. I claim that the Word of God is inerrant in its original autographs. There have been copying errors, but they are minor.
But if you claim there are contradictions, the burden of proof is on YOU to provide the irrefutable evidence.
