Hmmm. Funny. I am a Bible Scholar. I have a MDiv; ThM (in Systematic Theology); and ThD (Ante-Nicene Polemics) and I don't know that...and neither did ANY of my professors in the 3 seminaries I have attended. So...NO...not every scholar has come to that conclusion...only those who are liberal, spreading damnable heresies and seek to negate the Word of God.
There are NO contradictions...just places where your finite mind can't comprehend the infinite.
The seminaries teach textual analysis and when you apply that method, you see many contradictions. They are abundant. Many have been cited on this thread, and that is far from being all of them.
