Does the Bible Contradict Itself?

[spockrates]

But this implies that childbirth is inherently sinful, if forgiveness is needed, which is contradictory to Timothy saying that women can only be saved via childbirth (in regards to Eve).

I can see how one might draw that conclusion, but an implication does not a certainty make, I think. Notice that Moses does not quote his God as saying childbirth is a sin. He merely says that after the woman has recovered from giving birth, she must confess her sins and have the priest forgive them.

We may perhaps reasonably assume that Moses meant bearing a child was sinful, but our assumptions might be wrong. Then again, perhaps I'm the one who is wrong? The truth is that I don't think the text is clear enough to say either way. Here, too the Bible turns out to be ambiguous. Only one of us has the correct interpretation, but which one?
