How can they be the same and both true if they contradict each other?The truth is in the lessons they both teach. They do not contradict one another. Only man's interpretation makes it seem like they do. Really.
An attempt at literal understanding is counterproductive. Most teachings are metaphorical. It even says that.
Not true. Take Quran 4:157 for example:

Quran 4:157
That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah";- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:-
The Bible contradicts that, obbviously. The Quran is a book that was created to negate the Bible. Muhammad created a religion which specifically denies the claims of another religion - Christianity. Seriously, go read the Quran.
