  • Which book?

    I said numbers. The book of numbers.

    [19] God is not a human being, that he should lie, or a mortal, that he should change his mind. Has he promised, and will he not do it? Has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?

    And as you pointed out, God does not do everything he says, meaning he either changes his mind (which the inspired word of gawd says he does not) or he lies to people (which is evidently contrary to his nature). Go ahead and read the rest if you want, verse 16 makes it explicit that God actually spoke these words directly to balaam.


  • I mean if you want to agree God can change his mind that entails that he can’t possibly be all-knowing. Changing your mind generally requires new information that you didn’t know before. But that’s irrelevant because numbers 23:19 and 1 Samuel 15:29 both say God can’t change his mind.

    In the context of a group of camel herders assigning human characteristics to a deity to make it more understandable, it lines up perfectly. In the context of an almighty God handing down his Word to humans, it’s contradictory.

    On a less serious note, if we’re made in his image, does he have a dick n balls? If so, what for?
