the Bible does not conflict itself.

That's the thing. Is there a presumption that it is in conflict? And what kind of conflict? It is man's nature to deviate. If a 'holy' document has been copied untold times, it is only natural that there be some kind of deviation to the copies.
That's why I do not subscribe to the idea that the Bible is the "Inerrant" word of God. What we have today are references to the oldest manuscripts and fragments available to date in our most modern translations. So to put it analytically, we are commonly shown a translation of the scriptures that are copied from some older source that we do not have, and base the truth upon those oldest copys of the inspired word of God and the urgings of the Holy Spirit-- that is, if you are a Christian that reads the Bible.
The Muslims on the other hand have to either further dig themselves in the idea that they are commonly being told the truth about the koran being the ONLY one EVER to exist, or discover that this story doesn't hold up to scrutiny. They basically have to make the same trip that the modern Christian does. They have to look into their past and see that the common teaching that is in their modern koran has at least one counterpart if they want to know the truth.
Those Muslims that have discovered this other source are still Muslims unless something had changed their minds since this article was written:

words have connotation-implied meaning and denotation or dictionary meaning. The connotation, which i have self assurance you're asking about in accordance for your question, is that of 'loose from mistakes' in connection with the finest God, Jehovah,El Shaddai, Saviour, Redeemer. In connection with a 'holy e book', it relies upon on who declared it as 'holy'. The Bible, Scriptures, Holy Bible- are respected as God -breathed or inspired by ability of God, the finest Being. Conflicting verses may nicely be contemporary in 'guy- inspired' so called holy books. in spite of the undeniable fact that, at the same time as i imagine about a 'holy God' who can knit a infant in its mom's womb, carry the universe in area and do different activities scientists are basically researching after more beneficial than 2000 years, I doubt He may comprise 'conflicting verses' or mistakes in His 'holy e book'.at the same time as a individual can tell the man who created him/her that He has made an mistakes, then that individual is superseding the author. imagine about it.

that's not really holy.. really, but the bible does not contain conflicting verses.. somewhere in the bible there's one verse that would nullify the conflicting verses, making it understandable. example It is said that God and Jesus are one, then that would mean that God and Jesus are the same. But reading further, you see that Jesus is praying.. what does that say? who is he praying to if he is God. then reading further you will find the answer. it is written, i forgot exactly, Love each other so that you will become one just as God the Father and I(Jesus) is one. meaning God and Jesus is not literally one, they love each other.

One would not logically expect a holy book to be contain contradictions.

As in full of holes? Certainly, and that covers all of them, since religion is nothing but emotional thumb-sucking.

Yes. They can be there for a reason (to make you think and decide) or because some human goofed.
