Contradiction with 1 Timothy 2:5
This verse states that there is one mediator between God and men, Christ Jesus, which contradicts Exodus 24:2 by suggesting a different form of mediation than Moses approaching God alone.
1 Timothy 2:5: For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
Contradiction with Hebrews 10:19-20
These verses speak about believers having confidence to enter the Holiest by a new and living way through Jesus, contradicting the sole mediatory role of Moses as implied in Exodus 24:2.
Hebrews 10:19-20: Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, [boldness: or, liberty]
Contradiction with John 14:6
Jesus claims to be the way, which can be a contradiction to Moses being the one to come near to God, as described in Exodus 24:2.
John 14:6: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Contradiction with Romans 5:2
This verse speaks about having access to God through faith, which contrasts with the notion of access exclusively through Moses in Exodus 24:2.
Romans 5:2: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or inconsistency in Exodus 24:2 could be seen as one involving the exclusivity of access to the divine. Moses is allowed to approach while others must stay back, which may conflict with the idea of equality and equal access to the divine. This could raise questions about why only certain individuals are chosen or deemed worthy to have direct communication or experiences with the divine, potentially implying a hierarchy or favoritism.
