actually, even that claim is based on biblical teaching- that's the source of the story that is cited. Therefore, the validity and truth of the bible is the underlying premise for accepting what it says
The contradictions you presented don't have any bearing on the underlying truth of the fundamental premise, however. The underlying story of Christ could be true even if a book written about it after his death, and altered over centuries, contains contradictions.
So while you might say you have 'raised questions' about the fundamental premise of Christianity, by pointing out errors in the manuscript, you haven't debunked it (and again, I think debunking it would be impossible).
If some sentences are contradictory, then what sentences can you believe? The Bible might even be wrong about Jesus.
