According to Moses, this verse teaches that it's very special and rare for people to hear God's voice directly, especially in such a powerful way like from a fire, and still be safe. It helps remind everyone how amazing and unique God's communication with them is.

Deuteronomy 5:26: For who [is there of] all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we [have], and lived?

Contradiction with Exodus 33:20

This verse states that no man can see God and live, contradicting the idea of people hearing the voice of the living God in Deuteronomy 5:26.

Exodus 33:20: And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.

Contradiction with John 1:18

This verse indicates that no one has seen God at any time, seemingly opposing the direct encounter described in Deuteronomy 5:26.

John 1:18: No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him].

Contradiction with 1 Timothy 6:16

This verse mentions that God dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see, contrasting with the experience of hearing God's voice described in Deuteronomy 5:26.

1 Timothy 6:16: Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom [be] honour and power everlasting. Amen.

Paradox #1

One possible contradiction with Deuteronomy 5:26 is the question of whether humans can truly hear and survive encounters with God, since other parts of the Bible suggest that seeing God directly can result in death. This raises questions about how God can interact with humans without harming them.
