By realizing the contradictions are happening in our own, understanding. Not in the Bible...
If you want to illustrate one for us . That would at least give some direction to your thread I think.
I witness that there appears to be a contradiction,in a person unwilling to study to the level it takes to realizes, that there there was never a contradiction, but a misunderstanding . Something they missed. Or more likely they are Unwilling to study.

The first account deals with the order.
The second addresses the reason.
Hebrewic language is descriptive, you cannot read it as if it is English - Western Civilization Law speak.
For example, read the psalms....you will see the same idea said in a slightly different way in a repetitive form.
God isn't trying to say the same thing twice. He is adding texture, and color(reasons), to the original thought.
