As 'reverend666' points out, the Bible as we know it today is not one single, logically coherent document.
It is a collection of many different amounts from different sources and different languages, and has been put together (and revised and changed) over the centuries.
The contradictions between the Old Testament and the New Testament are especially big, but also within each 'testament' and sometimes even within the same chapter there are differences.
The important thing is to read the Bible for inspiration and spiritual guidance if you are a Christian, focusing on the parts that are most important to you in your own life.
If there are specific points or differences you wonder about, you'll find that many of them have been studied and discussed in depth by theologians and Bible scholars, and a google search can bring up relevant text references for you.

Opinions?
in my honest opinion; I think you are expecting more from God who made us in His own image
than He can satisfactorily give you. He has moods and feelings and reverses Himself when the situation warrants. He once repented for even creating man, but decided to
come in human form to redeem us to Himself. FYI ~enjoy the following article :

In the final analysis, He loves us. Whether or not you choose to wrap your mind around it, is entirely up to you. To the thinking man, no explanation is possible; to the spiritual man, no explanation is necessary. ^There are more things in heaven and earth Horatio than are dreampt of in your philosophy^ ~ William Shakespeare
