It can't be both so long as you believe the Bible to be the perfect word of God, which by your first sentence you do not believe to be true. A true believer would have said that God would not let the old Hebrew texts be mistranslated.
If you believe the Bible to be man-made and thus riddled with errors, then certainly it can be a smattering of contradictions. Which it most certainly is.
Given these contradictions, if you pick and choose the passages you want and ignore the rest, then certainly you can end up where the Phelps family is. But everything they preach is in there somewhere.
