Contradiction with 1 Kings 19:12

Unlike Isaiah 6:4, where God's presence is demonstrated through an earthquake and smoke, 1 Kings 19:12 describes God's presence as a "still small voice," showcasing a quiet and gentle revelation contrary to the overwhelming sensory depiction in Isaiah.

Contradiction with 1 Kings 8:27

Contradiction with John 4:24

Suggests that God is spirit and is worshiped in spirit and truth, contrasting with the physical manifestations of God's presence through smoke and shaking as depicted in Isaiah 6:4.
