I think you are using the word inconsistency incorrectly; scripture has no logical contradictions like Islam and Mormonism, that’s why it stands alone. Inconsistencies are often just the result of biblical ignorance or misreading and are easily harmonized by anyone who has a shred of exegetical ability.
