I knew you’d ignore and contort the scriptures. All those people saw and heard “God”. Jesus said no one has ever seen or heard his father. It’s pretty simple. And it’s remarkable for your to deny it as I gave you the scriptures. You even admit that “God” was seen and heard and wrestled with, yet.. you deny he was seen and heard. I know you can read in John and 1 John that no one has ever heard or seen God. Think about that hard. For you it’s a paradox or something, because for you there’s a “seeming” contradiction but certainly the Bible, written and edited by bronze and Iron Age goat herders and Greek and Roman aristocracy cannot have any errors.

Surprise! You’re right that there’s no contradiction here but for the wrong reasons.

Jesus’ father is not the god YHWH. Plain and simple Jesus’ father Theos is the actual high god, El Elyon, the head god - loving god - of the Canaanite pantheon. The evil angel YHWH who calls himself “God”, who Paul called the “God of this world”, actually killed Jesus (unknowingly, for if they’d known he was the lord of glory they wouldn’t have killed him). Jesus is not of the Jewish priesthood but of Melchizedek. Jesus came to redeem (ransom) mankind from the evil YHWH who was in charge of the world. YHWH demands blood sacrifice (even of humans, which I’ve shown you but you deny). Jesus was the final sacrifice for the atonement of sins - the blood of a divine being. Jesus didn’t come to abolish the law, but fulfilled the law by making himself low (unlike YHWH he did not aspire to become godlike) and willfully gave himself over to be sacrificed, and then his father Theos metamorphosized him back into his divine body on the third day.

Jesus can’t redeem - to trade divine blood for the saving of mankind - from himself. That’s illogical. If the cartel kidnaps someone and holds them hostage, you pay the ransom to get the person back. Jesus did that. The law was a curse as Paul put it. He said Jesus redeemed us of that curse by becoming cursed himself.

Jesus referred to the Jews as being of their father, the Devil. Who’s Jesus’s father? Not the Devil (not YHWH). Who’s the father of the Jews? YHWH.

YHWH was a jealous god who inherited the Jews from El Elyon in Deut 32:8-9. Boy did El Elyon screw up. No one’s perfect after all. YHWH commanded the Jews to only worship him, and murdered hundreds of thousands for worshipping other gods or just worshipping him in the wrong manner (golden calf, wrong kind of incense, etc). YHWH gave the Jews the Torah, the law, which was a curse. YHWH admits the law was a curse and was not good and that he even commanded them to cause their children to pass through the fire for him. El Elyon (Theos) righted the ship and had a plan to defeat his out of control angel son YHWH. Send the highest archangel, the beloved, who would only earn his name to become Jesus after his death to be a final sacrifice to redeem humans from the scourge of YHWH.

Every single thing I mentioned above is straight out of the ESV of the full Catholic canon (not the edited and deleted Protestant Bible who based their canon on medieval Jewish scripture and the whims of Martin Luther).

Did Melchizedek slaughter a goat and spread blood on an alter to bless Abraham? Nah, he broke out the bread and wine. Who else broke out the bread and wine?

Hey I got one more for you. How long did flood last? Was it 40 days or 150 days, and why’d Noah stay in the ark for over a year?
