Contradiction with Genesis 6:9
"Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God." - Contradiction is hard to find since Luke 1:19 declares an angel sent by God, supporting divine interaction rather than contradicting it.
Genesis 6:9: These [are] the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man [and] perfect in his generations, [and] Noah walked with God. [perfect: or, upright]
Contradiction with Exodus 33:20
"And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live." - This verse claims no man can see God, while Luke 1:19 describes Gabriel as standing in the presence of God, implying visual interaction.
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
"No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him." - Contradicts Luke 1:19 by emphasizing that God cannot be seen, while Gabriel implies seeing or being in God's presence.
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
"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." - Similar to others, contradicts the notion of witnessing God's presence directly.
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.
Contradiction with 1 John 4:12
"No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us." - Highlights the impossibility of witnessing God directly, in contrast to Gabriel's direct service in Luke 1:19.
1 John 4:12: No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
