I always thought Elohim and Yahweh were just two different names for the same god, but according to the bible they are two entirely different gods.
In Exodus 33:20:21 god tells Moses that no man can see his face and live. According to the interlinear bible the god here is Yahweh.
But in Exodus 24:9-11 74 men go up and see god. The god they see is Elohim according to the interlinear bible.
Drat! Another perfectly good contradiction bites the dust. So no this is not a contradiction of whether we can see god or not. This is a contradiction of whether there is only one god or not.
It gets even deeper when we realize that the god of Genesis chapter 1 is e;phim, but in chaper 2 yahweh is doing the creating. Does this mean there are two different creations? In fact, we don’t see Adam in chapter 1
These are two different gods, two different accounts and the biblical translators cleverly hid this by lumping it all under the name ‘god.’

The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

Nietzsche isn't dead. How do I know he lives? He lives in my mind.
