I found a claimed Bible contradiction on www.cryptoclast.org. I have provided one excerpt from the New Testament followed by three contradictory excerpts from the Old Testament:
"No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the Father's side, has made him known."
- John 1:18
Contradictions
"And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved."
- Genesis 32:30
"And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by: And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen."
- Exodus 33:21-23
"And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day."
- Genesis 18:1
Is this really a contradiction or am I reading these passages wrong? :bugeye:
