Does a contradiction means that it is not from God?
Yes. Otherwise it is a flawed message since the requirement of a perfect being is that his communications be perfect. And if the human channel was flawed, then the entire message is discarded.
The notion that any god worthy of the name would propagate such vital communications via convoluted and contradictory mythology requiring interpretation, using fallible human language unique to specific regions at certain specific points in history, is already a major strike against the validity of any message that it may have been trying to convey. Or further, against the existence, or at least the motives, of that god.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
