I assume the Quran is meant to be telling you serious things, not deliberately leaving you in the dark for literary effect. That would be very irresponsible considering the gravity of the instructions.
In my opinion, you've gone back and mentally rewritten things to make them add up with other things. But when two parts contradict, you choose the side you like the most. This happens endlessly with the bible. Not quite as much with the Quran, but the contradictions are still there.
The Quran is not read based one chronological order; Sura 1 is not the first Sura to be revealed.
Actually to be more precise, verses are revealed in different times. So yeah, I would say it's a pretty unique book.
But it does foretell some tales that carry valuable information; tales which we can conclude stuff from.
With the Quran, where you start is not important, but when you read you should never neglect the context, you actually stop when the context stop.
It's easy to read indeed. As for the contradictions, I really need a full list of them; because I frankly saw none, though I'm really interested to.

I'm sorry Mystic -no actually I'm not- but you keep on practicing gymnastics around arguments, I mean this is becoming useless because it looks like I'm wasting time and comments on debating a person who never responds to what I "ACTUALLY WRITE".
I don't care about your scholars. Discuss the Quran, using the Quran, prove or disprove using it & only it, otherwise you have nothing. Sorry. Even atheists in this debate, are keeping Hadiths outside, because I:
1-Don't believe in them and frankly don't trust you or them
2-Ali and his clan mean nothing to me as a Muslim since they're not even mentioned in the Quran
3-My demons are on holiday currently; Juliana Homicide didn't trigger them yet (2:29)
I'm sorry, but I'm immune to missionary work; either sunni or shia.
I'm only up for constructive discussion
