Below are some of the statements made by Ghulam Ahmad in relation to contradictions:

"Or koi danishmand or qaim-al-hawas aadmi aisay do (2) mutazad aitqad hargiz nahi kar sakta."

"Any wise and sensible person can never keep two different beliefs."

"Magar saaf zahir hai kay kisi sachyar or aqalmand or saaf dil insan ki kalam mai hargiz tanaqaz nahi hota. Haan agar koi pagal or majnoon ya aisa munafiq ho kay khushamad kay tor par haan mai haan mila deta ho iss ka kalaam beshaq mutnaqaz ho jata hai."

Translation:
"The writings of a truthful and clear-conscienced person never contain any contradictions. Yes, if someone is a lunatic and insane, or such a hypocrite who is a 'yes man' for flattering someone, his writings will of course be contradictory."

— (Ruhani Khazain, Vol. 10, p. 142, Satt Bachan p. 30)

"Ye haal hai un logon ki diyanat ka or jhootay kay kalaam mai tanaqaz zaroor hota hai."

Translation:
"The writings of a liar compulsorily contain contradictions."

— (Ruhani Khazain, Vol. 21, p. 275, Braheen-e-Ahmadiyya Part 5 p. 111)

Conclusion

Much like his stance on failed prophecies, Ghulam Ahmad leaves absolutely no room for interpretation when it comes to contradictions. By his own standard, a sane, truthful person does not contradict themselves. He goes so far as to label anyone whose writings contain contradictions as either a hypocrite, a lunatic, or a compulsory liar. Once again, he has provided the very framework by which his claims must be judged. If his own writings are found to be contradictory, then according to his own metric, his claims to divine truth cannot stand.
