It causes people to kill each other over which verses are more important. It makes it impossible to follow the entire bible faithfully when you're commanded to kill everyone outside your group while also doing unto others as you would have them do unto you.
The messiah is supposed to be a guy named Emanuel who is the prince of peace, yet we get a guy named Jesus who brings a sword instead. Jesus doesn't even meet all the requirements for the Jewish messiah anyway.
Why should there be any contradictions or inconsistencies, when the source of this divine inspiration is the same omni everything god? One reason I hear that the bible should be trustworthy is that it's consistent, and some of its propheses have come to pass. Except neither is true. The city of tyr was never fully destroyed, and you can find it today, and the end times did not come during the lifetimes of the people Jesus spoke to, despite him saying so.
And how did the gospels get the details of the most important man in history mixed up? Was Jesus that forgetful?
