Related arguments
- John 3:13 states 'No one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven, the Son of Man,' yet 2 Kings 2:1-12 narrates Elijah's bodily ascension in a whirlwind, and Genesis 5:24/Hebrews 11:5 describe Enoch as taken by God without dying -- contradicting John's 'no one' claim and implying the author was simply unaware of these figures.Textual Contradictions
- Genesis 32:30 has Jacob say 'I have seen God face to face, and yet my life is preserved,' Exodus 33:11 says 'the LORD used to speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend,' and Exodus 24:9-11 has the elders of Israel see God and eat and drink in his presence -- yet Exodus 33:20 has God tell Moses 'you cannot see my face, for no one shall see me and live,' and John 1:18 declares 'No one has ever seen God.'Textual Contradictions
- Luke 1:6 describes Zechariah and Elizabeth, John the Baptist's parents, as 'righteous in the sight of God, observing all the Lord's commands and decrees blamelessly' -- apparently contradicting the Christian claim that Jesus alone was sinless, since Luke attributes blameless righteousness to two other, ordinary human beings.Textual Contradictions
- Genesis 1 presents Yahweh as sole creator of everything by fiat, but other texts (Isa 27:1, Ps 74:13-14, Job 26:12-13) depict God defeating chaos-monsters (Leviathan, Rahab) and 'splitting the sea,' language closely paralleling the Ugaritic Baal-versus-Yam combat myth (cf. KTU 1.5) -- suggesting Yahweh was originally just the strongest among contending gods, not the sole transcendent creator of Genesis 1.Textual Contradictions
- Jesus said he came not to abolish the Law but to fulfill it, warning that not one letter would pass away until all is accomplished (Matt 5:17-19), yet Paul teaches believers are no longer under the law, abrogates circumcision and festival observance (Gal 3:23-25, 4:10-11, 5:2, Eph 2:14-15), and describes becoming 'as one outside the law' to win converts (1 Cor 9:20) -- Paul contradicts Jesus.Textual Contradictions
- Genesis 2:7 and 2:19 appear to have man formed before the animals, while Genesis 1:24-26 has the animals created before man -- two incompatible creation orders within the same book.Textual Contradictions
