Aren't there a number of contradictions in the Bible? And if the Bible is not in harmony with itself, how can we say it is inspired?

There are seemingly many contradictory statements contained in the Bible, and these are due to several causes. One source of error lies in translations from the original Hebrew and Greek into the various modern languages. It is claimed that the Authorized and Douay Versions of the Bible [...]

What is the one true church?
