Are they all gods?

Below is a small sample on how names can be attributed to God yet no Jew thinks them to be God, unlike Christians who think calling jesus Lord or Emmanuel makes him God!.

Was this Lord speaking of another Lord?

-----------------------------


Whos speaking?


Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven; (Genesis 19:24)


The Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord. The Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, (Exodus 34:5-7)

How can you even think of taking this book seriously ?



The LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his young aide Joshua son of Nun did not leave the tent. (Exodus 33:11)




Whoever inserted the text saying that God spoke to Moses "face to faceas one speaks to a friend.  (Exodus 33:11) apparently failed to check that this was consistent with the main narrative, which at verse 20 has God saying to Moses "you cannot see my face



But," he said, "you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live." (Exodus 33:20)


---------------------


Christians may try to respond by saying “no that was a metaphorical statement it wasn't a literal Face to Face” but notice the proceeding statement THEN Moses would return to the camp”. Moses would return to the camp, which means he would have met Yahweh in person like a friend does and have a chat and then get back to his camp. It’s  pretty clear this isn't a metaphorical statement, rather a  literal one.

This puts Christians into a dilemma, if Moses saw the Face of Yahweh why did Yahweh lie and say no man can see his face? If he didn't see Yahweh's Face why does the text say Moses would speak Face to Face like one speaks to his friend?  And please save yourselves from embarrassment by saying one can speak to his friend over the Phone without seeing him. There was No Phones 3000 years ago!!

It makes no sense, one moment Yahweh and Moses speak face to face, next moment Yahweh says to Moses he can’t see his face. unless the entire story was a lie made up by people who did not know what the proceeding verses were as the texts were being tampered and updated.
