God does not contradict himself. Man contradicts God and it appears in history many times.
In 1 John 5:7
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
In "heaven" but there are three
there that bear record.
8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
In earth, there are three that "bear witness".
Does man wish to contradict this witness and record?
Many people only "believe" the Old Testament
and think there are errors in the New Testament.
######## Isaiah 29
24 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.

In Chapter 7 of Isaiah
14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
In Isaiah chapter 9
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
In Isaiah chapter 45
5 I [am] the LORD, and [there is] none else, [there is] no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that [there is] none beside me. I [am] the LORD, and [there is] none else.
15 Verily thou [art] a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour.

NEW TESTAMENT
In Luke, Chapter 2
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12 And this [shall be] a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

ONE LORD, ONE MIGHTY GOD, ONE SAVIOUR, ONE HOLY COUNSELLOR.

In Isaiah 55, it is told to us that God's ways are higher than our ways and God's thoughts are higher than our thoughts. It is also told to us who God is.
Isaiah 55
8 For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
9 For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
######## Isaiah 43
11 I, [even] I, [am] the LORD; and beside me [there is] no saviour.
ONE SAVIOUR
12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when [there was] no strange [god] among you: therefore ye [are] my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I [am] God.
13 Yea, before the day [was] I [am] he; and [there is] none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?
14 Thus saith the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry [is] in the ships.
15 I [am] the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.

NEW TESTAMENT
In John chapter 6
45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.

We must get in agreement with God and not the other way around. There is plenty of examples in
the Old Testament of what happens to man when he
believes he knows better than GOD.
With that in mind, John 1 clearly states
in the NEW TESTAMENT.
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
Coming back to 1 John chapter 5 we find
5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

God's thoughts must be accepted as higher than our thoughts.

1 John Chapter 5
9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.
#############
10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
#############
11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12 He that hath the Son hath life; [and] he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
#############
20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, [even] in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
