The Bible contradicts itsself.

Revelation 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
If God is all-knowing, free will simply can't exist. Since those are some of the pillars of Christianity, I doubt that contradiction was simply a translational error.
There are very few books, if any, that upon careful consideration not a single time contradict themselves. Books are written by people, and people make mistakes. The longer the book is, the higher the probability of a mistake is.
Imperfections of translations might contribute to the number of instances of self-contradiction, but I doubt they can be solely to blame.
@Polaris95 Why can't an all knoing God give free will to us?
