 Christians typically offer several explanations to try to reconcile the contradiction about whether God can be seen. Here are the most common ones — and the flaws in each:  1. “They didn’t actually see God — only a vision or a part of Him.” 🟢 Claim: The people saw a theophany (a visible manifestation of God), not His full essence. God showed a form they could handle without dying. 🔴 Problem: The verses literally say they saw God — face to face (Genesis 32:30), and that they saw the God of Israel and ate and drank in His presence (Exodus 24:11). If it's not really God, then the Bible should say “a vision”, not “God.”  2. “They saw Jesus, not God the Father.” 🟢 Claim: Those who saw “God” were actually seeing Jesus before His incarnation (the “pre-incarnate Christ”), not God the Father, who remains unseen. 🔴 Problem: This idea is not stated in the verses — it's retrospective theology invented centuries later. It contradicts John 1:18, which says “No one has seen God at ...

 Some will say: “Jesus is both God and man.” “He was just playing the role of a servant.” “He called God ‘my God’ only in his human nature.” But think deeper: 📌 Acts 2:22 calls Jesus a man — not God-in-the-flesh. 📌 John 20:17, Jesus says “my God and your God” — not once does he say “I am God.” 📌 1 Cor 8:6 clearly separates God (the Father) and Jesus (the Lord) — not merging them as one being. If Jesus really was God, why not say it plainly? Why act like someone under God? 💡 Don’t explain away the verses. Just read them honestly. Let the Bible speak — and see what jumps out.

 🚨 PAUL vs JESUS – CONTRADICTIONS IN THE BIBLE 🚨 ✋ Don’t just follow blindly. Compare what Jesus taught vs what Paul introduced. They are not the same. Let's break it down verse by verse: 🔴 1. Salvation: Faith vs Works 📜 Jesus:  “If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.” Matthew 19:17 📜 Paul: “A person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.”  Romans 3:28 🚫 Contradiction: Jesus says salvation = obedience to God's law. Paul cancels it and says faith alone is enough. 🔴 2. The Law: Keep it or Cancel it? 📜 Jesus: “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law… I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. Until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter… will by any means disappear from the Law.”  Matthew 5:17-18 📜 Paul: “But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.” Galatians 5:18 🚫 Contradiction: Jesus upheld the Law till the end of time. Paul says you're free from it. 🔴 3. Who is your God? 📜 Jesus:...

Judah** (one of Jesus' ancestors) and **Tamar**—a story of deception and unexpected righteousness in Genesis 38.   ### **The Story of Judah and Tamar (Genesis 38)**   Judah (son of Jacob/Israel) had three sons: **Er, Onan, and Shelah**.   1. **Judah arranged for his firstborn, Er, to marry Tamar**, but Er was wicked and God struck him dead (v. 7).   2. Following the custom of *levirate marriage* (Deuteronomy 25:5-6), **Judah gave Tamar to his second son, Onan**, but he refused to father a child for his dead brother, so God struck him dead too (v. 10).   3. **Judah promised Shelah (his third son) to Tamar** but delayed giving him to her, fearing he might also die (v. 11).   Tamar, realizing Judah had no intention of fulfilling his duty, **disguised herself as a prostitute** and tricked Judah into sleeping with her (vv. 14-18). She became pregnant, and when Judah discovered this, he initially ordered her execution for adultery—un...

 What is Islam? Islam is the name of the religion that Muslims follow. People who practice Islam are called Muslims, just like those who practice Christianity are called Christians. The literal and lexical meaning of Islam means submission. Islam comes from the root Arabic letters s-l-m which are the same root letters the word peace (salam) comes from. The term Islam itself does not mean peace, but it implies that one finds peace (salam) through submission (islam). The term Arab is often used interchangeably with Muslim, but this is incorrect. Arab is a race while Islam is a religion. Not all Arabs are Muslim and most Muslims are actually not Arab. Arabs make up about 13% of the Muslim population. Islam is named after the action of submitting to God’s commands and will and not a person. Other religions are often named after a person or people. For instance, Christianity is named after Christ, Judaism is named after the tribe of Juda, and Buddhism is named after Buddha. Islam is not...

 The Bible mentions **two individuals who were taken to heaven alive without experiencing physical death**:   ### **1. Enoch** (Genesis 5:24)   - **"Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him."**   - Hebrews 11:5 confirms that Enoch **did not die**: *"By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death."*   - He was **translated directly to heaven**, bypassing death.   ### **2. Elijah** (2 Kings 2:11)   - **"Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven."**   - He was carried away in a chariot of fire, witnessed by Elisha.   - Later, in Malachi 4:5, Elijah is prophesied to return before the "great and dreadful day of the Lord," implying he is still alive in heaven.   ### **Possible Third Case: Moses?**   - Deuteronomy 34:5-6 says Moses died and was buried by God, but Jude 1:9 mentions an angelic dispute over his body.   - Some Jewish and Christian tradition...
