Confusing
Hi guys! This is my first day here in the forums.
I'm a Christian and I truly believe in God and Jesus etc.
Recently, i've been surfing the web and i happen to came across something. i found the following verses...
". . . God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man."
(James:1:13)
"And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham."
(Genesis 22:1)
". . . for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not keep anger forever."
(Jeremiah 3:12)
"Ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burn forever. Thus saith the Lord."
(Jeremiah 17:4)
"If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true."
(John 5:31, J.C. speaking)
"I am one that bear witness of myself . . ."
(John 8:18, J.C. speaking)
and last but not least:
"I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved."
(Genesis 32:30)
"No man hath seen God at any time."
(John 1:18)
"And I [God] will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts . . ."
(Exodus 33:23)
it seems contradicting verses. im not a bible expert and i still have strong faith. i just want to know what you guys think about this.
forgive me if i posted in the wrong section of the forum.
God bless...
