Really? Are one of those stupid college punks? Did you go to seminary school to learn to be so fucking useless?
Wikipedia? !!!PLEASE!!!
DUDE!
I translate the bible according to it's own grammatical inflection. NOT according to stupid people whom went to seminary school to learn how to say, "Polly want a cracker"!
The 1 Timothy 2:12 reference has nothing, at all, to do with the assembly(church). First and second Timothy are letters written by the apostle Paul to a Pastor-Teacher named Timothy. In the context of the cited verse, Paul is giving instructions, to Timothy, how to teach men and women in general.
In the cited verse, Paul is instructing how to teach women. The verse clearly says in the Greek, to-teach to-women. To translate it as "Women should not teach" is way, way out of left field. Clearly the translators and clergy, and not the apostle Paul, are a bunch of sexist pricks!
The counter verse, 1 Corinthians 11:5, is even more ridiculous! In the context of that verse Paul is having fun(puns) and, he is walking on egg shells, so to speak, saying(in the Greek), "men should have an unright head, as opposed to down(not ashamedly), when they pray or/prophesy(to speak in public) or else he will dishonor his head who is Jesus(from the previous verse). And women, when they pray or/prophesy(speak in public) should speak with a mouth filter! Or, she will dishonor her head which is her husband according to the previous verse. Now, how that came to mean 'women wearing hats' or, 'forbidding long hair on men' is beyond me!
So no, there is no contradiction! The only thing that contradicts the bible is the clergies own theology itself! It's fun to watch!!! And by the way, John Calvin was a clown.
If atheists want to throw stones at the clergy, feel free! If you throw stones at the bible, I will defend her till death!
The other cited NT, so called contradiction, is just as stupid--Faith vs. Works. First of all, in order to argue this point, both parties must agree that "salvation" actually exists which it does not. Somehow, the clown John Calvin and the clown Martin Luther, established a reform(never before existed) theology known as 'salvation'(before them the argument was about, "How to be Justified"--Faith vs. Works) and now the stupid clergy argue about, "How to be saved"--Faith vs. Works.
The word translated as 'faith' means: what you trust, place your confidence in. It is NOT blind as everyone places their confidence in something. Even in stupid things like 'particle theory' which people learned in their magic books from Gurus in college.
The word translated as "works" merely refers to your job, occupation, business, etc. It has nothing whatsoever to do with anything the clergy mumbles on about.
Faith and works have do with living our lives, right here, right now and nothing to do with stupid theologies concerning some man invented "salvation" or, "justification"!
So no, there are no contradictions. Just stupid people arguing about stupid things they call "truth".
Believe what you want dude but just be aware that you are demonstrably wrong.
Here are the 63,779 contradictions in the bible in pictoral form with a referenceing arc. You need to zoom in to see the references.
I'll get right on the rest so that you too can believe in the inerrancy of the bible

I stumbled across one once that really bothered me. The NT verse was talking about Judas and the pieces of silver and referenced the foretelling of the event back to Jeremiah. However, the event is foretold in the book of Zechariah.
I took my problem to some smart people and asked, "What gives". Finally, I found someone who knew some history and he said, "The bible in the first century was arranged by scrolls and not books. The scroll of Jeremiah contains the book of Zechariah." Problem solved!

I discovered a new vitamin that fights cancer. I call it ...B9
I also invented a diet pill. It works great but had to quit taking it because of the side effects. Turns out my penis is larger and my hair grew back. And whoa! If you think my hair is nice!
When does size truly matter? When it's TOO big!
I'm currently working on a new pill I call "Destenze". However...now my shoes don't fit.
