Did that person provide some or all of the contradiction in the Holy Bible? if not, that would be considered a baseless argument if not back up.
The Bible was written by several people, and that is why Christian understand that how one person viewed a certain event may not be written down the same way as every single person. But all in all, they end up to be the same.
Do you know why eye witness are not a liable source of evidence in court?
It is because each person can see the same event at the same time differently depends on the person, and so is what has been written in the bible. Each person wrote down what they know according to their own personalities.
If there are complete contradictions! you got the floor, care it away and tell us about it, or them.

No.
Most of the so-called "contradictions" that people have shown here in Y!A seem to be someone nit-picking at the wording of a poor English translation (they can't figure out that the Bible was originally written in Hebrew & Greek), or else they are pulling a single sentence out of its literary and cultural context in order to try to force an apparent contradiction.
I admit that certain parts of the Bible can be difficult to understand, but when someone trys to invent an artifical contradiction by pulling something out of context, they come across as an ignorant, immature child ranting at something that they are too simple to understand.

The Bible contradicts itself on unimportant non-religious issues.
This is why most of the world's Christians do not take the Bible literally.
They believe the Bible teaches religious truth but not necessarily historical fact.
With love in Christ.

In no way,shape or form does the Bible contradict itself.There's a good book by Norm Geisler that goes thru point by point,but no it doesn't.One of the oldest supposed contadictions is "Hey,man,the Bible says'Thou shalt not kill',but there's killing all thru the Bible,dude.The Bible actually says 'Thou shalt do no murder' , that's the straight translation from Hebrew to Greek to English. And in Genesis ch 9 it states" anyone who sheds blood,by man shall his blood be shed." That's not murder that's retrobution.God let the Caananites know (the original people of Palestine)that they had 450 yrs to stop their ,murdering,beastiality,sacraficing their 1rst born,human canabaalistic sacrifice,etc etc before he sent in the Israelites to clean house,how merciful was that,they had done all this plus spread horrible diseases because of it.That wasn't murder that was gettin' rid of the vermin.

Anything that is open to interpretation will contradict itself depending on who is interpreting it. What's sad is that our American constitution contradicts itself and it is supposed to be concrete. Oh well, lol. Such is life.

It contradicts itself in the first two chapters. I am certainly not one to quote the bible, but just to show the proof of this
How am I supposed to believe something that contradicts itself in the first 10 pages?!
First chapter, animals come first
Second chapter, man comes first
Which is it?
Genesis:
Excerpt from Chapter 1:
And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
Skip to line 26
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Excerpt from Chapter 2:
And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature...

That's too general of a question to qualify as a question. Give us specific examples, like: Mary, the mother of Jesus is a Virgin.
OK?
