< STRONG Some superficial contradictions are mistaken by mixing two different things as the same thing. 

For example, An infidel once announced that he had discovered a contradiction in the Bible. When challenged to produce it, he suggested that whereas Noah’s ark with all of its inmates must have weighed several tons (Genesis 6), the priests were said to have carried the ark across the Jordan River (Joshua 3). The poor fellow, in his profound simplicity, did not even know the difference between Noah’s ark and the Ark of the Covenant!

< STRONG Some superficial contradictions are mistaken by mixing two different time settings as the one time setting.

For example, the Bible records: “God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good” (Genesis 1:31). And then: “And it repented Jehovah that he had made man on earth, and it grieved him at his heart” (6:6). The infidel cites both verses and claims that God simultaneously was satisfied and dissatisfied with His creation—neglecting to mention, of course, that the fall of man and hundreds of years of history separated the two statements!

< Apparent contradictions are not final. It may still be resolvable.

It doesn't make the Bible unreliable if it appears to have many contradictions and misunderstandings.

There are many reasons why we may have an apparent contradiction:

1) first off, it may actually be an unsolvable contradiction of the author(s). Of course, in the favor of the skeptics, the author was probably either uncareful (therefore proving that the original text wasn't inspired by God to be perfect) or in the case of many authors, the contradiction might prove that one or more author(s) are teaching the wrong concept. In other words, one author may be correct and the others incorrect, thus a contradiction, or none of them may be correct, and thus a contradiction in different views.

2) someone deliberately altered/mis-copied the Bible,

3) someone accidentally mis-copied the Bible,

4) or we're simply misunderstanding a concept because we're missing something or taking something out of context.

Many people argue that because there are so many contradictions in the Bible, they cannot believe in God or anything associated.

But hold on. Contradictions are not final. Contradictions are merely observations of what we see.
If the secularists were to look at the laws of gravity just as they look at the Bible, they would say gravity doesn't exist. This is how they'd argue.

The Law of Gravity states that all objects must fall down to the earth.
Whoops, I see a balloon floating across the room; why doesn't it fall down?
Therefore, Gravity doesn't exist.

How absurd. This is how many secularists (not all of course), treat contradictions in the Bible and about the existence of God, especially with this argument:

Christianity says God is all powerful, all knowing, and all good.
Whoops, evil exists.
Therefore, God doesn't exist.

Again, how absurd. Of course, there's a theory for this phenomenon that we have observed. But what looks like a contradiction in our observation may not in fact be a fetal contradiction of logic.

Finding contradictions are only good against breaking down arguments. They are NOT good against breaking down reality, merely because we misunderstand it. We am NOT going to be "faithful" to philosophy and deny gravity exists because we see a balloon float. Neither am I going to deny the existence of God because I see evil happening. So shall it be with other propositions.

We should treat the observation of God like the observation of the laws of nature: a series of non ending discoveries.
Have anyone thought if the discoveries of the laws of nature would end? Maybe not. But surely it's limited (that's a different story). Therefore, how much more should we consider the discoveries of God being everlasting?
