No true student of the Bible dismisses the hermeneutical principle of context as well as audience and relation to other Scripture passages. Still, I do not at all believe God contradicts himself - and it IS God the Holy Spirit that does the inspiring. Anybody can rip a verse out of context and make it say whatever they want and some cults have done exactly that. But God did not insert errors just to trip genuine believers up and cause them to distrust his Holy Word. He has revealed his truth to us and we understand those truths because we have the Holy Spirit within us leading us into all truth. That is why we should study the Bible so that we are not misled by deceivers.
Which by not doing so is exactly why people are targeted by the enemy of mens souls...."who seeks whom he may devour."...and why so many people today swallow the bait and fall into these various cults and false religions...
You must have missed my point where I stated that Scripture does not contradict Scripture. I stated that if it appears to contradict the flaw is on our interpretation of one or all of Scripture.
(And, for the record do you not consider the Episcopacy of the Catholic Church to be comprised of persons other than "true students of the Bible"?)
