How do you know there are no contradictions? There are 31,103 verses in the Bible. To compare each to all the others would require 483,713,856 comparisons. If you could make one comparison per minute (most would take longer) and assuming you work a 40 hour week it would take 4000 years to complete the task. It amounts to reading the Bible 15,552 times. Have you done that?
The idea that there are no contradictions in the Bible is false. None of your arguments to the contrary make any sense. Christians say this all the time, "there are no contradictions," over and over. Probably with the idea that if they say it over and over enough times someone besides themselves will believe it. Or maybe they need to say it over and over to convince themselves that they believe it.

The only "underlying, cohesive theme" in the Bible is "God's a bad ass and you had better love him or he will kill you."
