If you automatically accept that god exists and the Bible is his letter to mankind, then of course anything it contains is true and accurate. That's why Christians go to such lengths to explain or rationalize the parts that sound horrible or crazy or don't make sense. It has to make sense, it's the word of god.
Just remember that for a long time the bible was only available in Latin which most people couldn't read. And the church killed anyone who did translate it.
The contradictory elements would've allowed the preisthood to claim anything they liked and be able to use the bible to back it up.

If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.
