Put in context, the Bible has no inconsistencies. Men "find" the "inconsistencies" to make themselves and their religions conform to their sensibilities - else, why some 30,000+ sects of Christianity that all claim the same Bible?

Pretty amazing work - written over a few thousand years by some 150 authors and it does not contradict itself unless one decided to "translate" it outside of its context.

...else, why some 30,000+ sects of Christianity that all claim the same Bible?

No problem; as Christianity has been 'restored'.

NOW there is only ONE correct church.

(So I've been told... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sects_in_the_Latter_Day_Saint_movement )

I'm not sure of that number
