Hutch and some of the others tell us that the alleged Biblical contradictions
are not contradictions at all -- they only appear that way, until you study
subtleties of translation ("hear voice" -> "understand voice") etc.

My question for them is:
  If the Bible is divinely inspired, why does it even APPEAR to have contra-
dictions?  Why did not God inspire a clear, unambiguous book?  Why didn't he
inspire the translators as well, to ensure continued accuracy?  It seems to
me that if the Bible contains a message that God wanted to get across to the
world, He sure went the wrong way about doing it!
