The New Testament

I have a question to pose. The Old Testament (The King James Version of the Jewish Bible) is directly contradicted on a number of points by the New Testament.

The Bible, whether you follow the King James Version or not, is originally dictated by Hashem (G-d). Whereas, the New Testament was written by men. It supposedly explains about Jesus, through the eyes of those who followed him. However, the earliest Gospel written was written 50 years following Jesus' death, and some were written as long as 250 years after Jesus' death.

So, the New Testament would be almost exclusively hearsay about a man who was supposedly Hashem's son. More than that, The Old Testament is contradicted on more than half of it's points by the New Testament and many feel that the New Testament renders the Old Testament void.

If you claim to follow Hashem, then how can you justifiably ignore the Old Testament based on hearsay from humans, which are by definitiion fallible?

And if that wasn't bad enough, theology professors the world over are now struggling with the "Gospel of Judas" that has been recently hitting the newsstands.

You know that saying, "Dont take it as Gospel"?
Like 'dont take it as an infallible truth'.
Well, that saying literally isn't exactly accurate because even the bible, yes, is fallible.

I often too saw contradictions in there. I remember the part where the disciples are discussing divorce and talking about how the old testament allowed it and how figures like Abraham had more than one wife.
Jesus comment on it was something like; It isnt God's will, it was men with cold hearts that allowed it.
And he went on about encouraging people to stay monogamous and to try at your utmost not to divorce where possible. There was even a note for eunuchs in there too! Damn, if only I could remember which passage it was in. I havent looked at a bible in a long time...

Now, if you have two books, because we are going to ignore the oral explanation that accompanies the Bible, where one is written by one who is infallible, then one that contradicts it, written by the fallible, why in the world would you believe the fallible?
