The Bible does have contradictions and it does have error, i believe that when the words of the Bible came from God to man they were perfect and pure, but they have been changed and distorted through translation by sometimes ignorant sometimes wicked people. that is why we rely on continuing revelation to understand the word of God, otherwise we can not believe any of it. No serious person can say there are not mistakes in the bible, I firmly believe the bible to be the word of God, but i also readily state there are errors and if there is even one, they how can we know the truth of anything in it, any one could argue any verse they don't like and merely say it's a bad translation. so with out continuing revelation from God, no one could hope to understand the Bible. This is why God has called prophets in our day, and this is why He brought forth the Book of Mormon, which was written by prophets and translated by a prophet, it stands as another testament of Christ and testifies of the truth of the Bible and helps us understand God's words.
