    Apparent Contradiction

    Can anyone explain this in a way that gets to the route of the problem? I'm really struggling to believe the Bible is the inerrant word of God because of this: "He who does not love does not know God, for God is love."—1 John 4:8 "Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does...
