I'm not inclined to promote this topic as written because it is inconsistent.
The title and the lack of argument presented deals with contradictions, but the question asked concerns which parts of the Bible are "the word of God".
If you want to know which parts of the Bible are "the word of God", but feel that inconsistencies or bad advice negate that; then show why specific inconsistencies or bad advice mean the writings are not the word of God. I'd like to see a reasoned argument that shows you have taken into account the context and purpose of the writers.
I assume you want this in accuracy and inerrancy. If yes, that means you also have to show evidence for what you are saying. If not, please let me know which forum.

Re: Needs Support
I'm still assuming you want this in the accuracy and inerrancy thread.
There have been many threads on inconsistencies and reconciliation. If all you want is to see how Christians reconcile inconsistencies in the Christian Bible, then narrow the thread down to addressing just a specific few inconsistencies and explain or show evidence as to why they are inconsistencies that need to be reconciled.
But if you are wanting to discuss the question: Which parts of it are "the word of god"? and use inconsistencies as evidence against it being the word of God (which I assume is your point); then you need to make an argument. We shouldn't have to assume your point. IOW, explain why you feel inconsistencies are evidence that the Bible or parts of it are not the word of God?
If you're wanting to discuss whether God or the Bible can or should be questioned or not, then you really need to clarify your position.
Right now, all I see is a thread to make Christians jump through hoops to reconcile inconsistencies, but to what end?
What is your contention?
