Actually, historically speaking, it was not the bible who was written by "people influenced by the holy spirit", instead that's reserved to the scriptures and passages inside. The bible is actually just a very pinpoint compilation of those scriptures and manuscripts compiled over centuries, both the old testament (written in tandem with jewish beliefs and scriptures, and the new testament, which is unique to Christian ideology).

The bible itself, as I  said, was compiled in the 3rd century, during the ascension of the Byzantine Roman empire, with Christianity as the emerging religion. Emperor Constantine with the conjunction of Christian priests and clergy were the original compilers of the bible. 

I may not be Christian myself (I'm a wiccan), but I have two heavy-Christian believers in my family (my grandparents from my dad's side of the family), so I was taught a lot of the history of the bible when I was young. 

So the contradiction is still true. The bible itself was written and compiled by men who chose to carefully put only those scriptures that "fitted" the Christian ideology of the early Christian era, leaving aside a lot of controversial scriptures that were later found in the Dead Sea.
Amongst these controversial scriptures, there are some that contradict the depiction of Jesus Christ and it's relationship with Maria Magdalene, especially the scriptures written by Magdalene herself.

Yes, the scriptures that compose the bible may have some "higher power" influencing or inspiring the people that wrote them, but in the end, man and it's preconceptions, prejudices and hidden agendas left their influence in the final product itself.

FTR the Roman Empire was still unified during Constantine's reign.
