Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus
For just one single example of the difficulty, consider the Bible contradiction found in "... whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Acts 2:21) CONTRADICTS " (God) will render to every man according to his deeds:" (Rom 2:6). But, is THAT all there is to it? Not at all. The Bible offers MANY different paths to Salvation.
