Contradiction with John 1:18

This verse states that no one has seen God at any time, contrasting with the notion of Moses experiencing God's presence on the mountain.

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 John 4:12

Affirms that no man has seen God at any time, which could be seen as conflicting with the implied visibility of God to Moses in Exodus 24:15.

Contradiction with 1 Timothy 6:16

Describes God as dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see, which might contradict Moses’s close encounter in Exodus 24:15.

Contradiction with Exodus 33:20

God tells Moses that no one can see His face and live, which appears to be in tension with Moses ascending to meet God in Exodus 24:15.

Contradiction with Isaiah 45:15

Emphasizes that God hides Himself, which seems contradictory to the divine revelation in Exodus 24:15.
