This means that when Jesus left the godhead and came to earth as man, he actually left His divinity behind!
If He did not leave His divinity behind then the story of Jesus is meaningless and a sham. The idea that Jesus while on earth is not divine but only man is supported biblically as well as through the Creeds.
However that is leading way off topic. The key point is that the Bible is filled with contradictions as any anthology of anthologies will be. It reminds me of a practice that used to be quite common particularly in the Science Fiction monthlies. The senior editor would assign a basic concept to several writers who would then write a short story based on the concept. Each story stood on its own merit, but if you looked at the collection as an unit you would of course find contradictions between the stories. If events mentioned in one story were considered, then events in another became impossible.
The Bible is exactly the same.
IMHO the biggest single contradiction in the Bible, one that must be addressed to understand the Bible at all, is the two totally different views of GOD found in the God of Genesis 1 and the God of Genesis 2.
These two books are significant IMHO because they tell us so much about the goals, thoughts and beliefs of the various redactors and editors that compiled the Bible whether we are speaking of the Jews compiling the Torah or the Christians compiling the Old Testament.
The beginning books of the Bible are unique.
There, the redactors include mutually exclusive creation stories, they place the younger version first before the older version, even though they were certainly capable of seeing that the two versions contradict each other in order, method and even the portrayal of GOD.
They do not try to revise the texts to make them fit even though they did edit at least two versions of the creation myth into one in the version that picks up about Genesis 2:4.
The fact that they did combine several sources together and smooth out internal inconsistencies within the older version that begins with Genesis 2:5 shows that they were both capable of editing the tales and not hesitant to do so.
So IMHO we must ask, "Why did the redactors include two tales that are mutually exclusive, that reiterate pretty much the same theme and change the order so that the newer version comes first with the older ones following instead of maintaining a chronological order?"
