I think your right on this one.
I think I'd also suggest that where you think the books contradict is simply a lack of understanding on your part. For example the we are saved by faith so works are meaningless kind of message you get from some churches perhaps? They are inseperable, James makes this quite clear.
If you guys think a particular part contradicts post it up.
Someone who knows their bible well like snail or greatkraw should be able to explain it.
