Yorick, forgive me for pointing this out, but you are expecting me to put the opinion of an artist/singer, albeit a faithful one who reads the Bible, above that of more than one Ph.D. theology professor, some of whom also attended seminary, who work in the field, write books on the topic, and dedicate 8 or more hours a day to intellectual pursuit of the topic. It's laughable if you think about it. I'm sorry, but I've done just fine in life by relying on the experts where I lack expertise.
It is opinion. Educated, informed opinion, but opinion.
And, continuing to point out my shortcomings on the topic adds nothing to your argument and phases me little (and if it continues just might prompt me to question if it is WJWD). So, expose my ignorance on a book I haven't read in over a decade all you want, but your well-informed opinions cannot overcome the fact that there are others out there.
Do you deny there are those out there who are educated on the topic and also think the Bible contains contradictions? If yes, then you've got some proof of your own to amass. If no, then you either (1) must admit it is something reasonable men can disagree on or (2) show us all once again how you can be so blindingly bull-headed sometimes. Your choice.
