Thanks for posting the contradictions. I see now what you mean by contradictions, contradictions in the exact details of certain events.
What I thought you meant was that there were contradictions in the values or beliefs that Jesus taught. I can see how contradictions such as the examples you gave may turn people away from the Christian Bible, but I think it's important to remember that the gospels were written many years after the events came to pass. Also I think it's important to remember that the principles and values preached are more important than the exact details, at least that's how it's taught to Catholics.
Also, thanks for the information on Hindus.

Yep, that's what I mean by contradictions 'Manasecret.'
The Qur'an [Holy Book of Muslims] was also collected many years after the revelation had occured, but it was memorised by many of the people with the Prophet peace be upon him [Word for word], and hence was recorded all in order.
We Muslims believe the bible was also the word of God, and so was the Torah, but the fact of the matter is these books were distorted by common people, who had evil intentions.
As stated by a former Christian missionary, Dr Gary Miller:
The Bible consists of 66 small books. About 18 of them begin by saying: This is the revelation God gave to so and so… The rest make no claim as to their origin. You have for example the beginning of the book of Jonah which begins by saying: The word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Elmitaeh saying… quote and then it continues for two or three pages.
Our book is one. It's been the same since it's been revealed. Compare our copy of the Qur'an to the old copies found in the library, and you would not even find a difference in one thing. I guarantee this. Just pick up the Qur'an and try read it, find anything wrong with it.
We hope God guides us all to the right path.
No Problem about information of Hindus.
