In Exodus 31:17, God is tired after having created everything, so he rests on the seventh day. You know, the Sabbath. But wait, God rests? I thought God couldn't get tired, ala Isaiah 40:28?
God doesn't seem to be omnipresent and know all things. Look at Genesis 11:5, Genesis 18:20,21, and Genesis 3:8.
Jeremiah 32:37 describes God as being all-powerful. Those who have faith in him can do wondrous things. But in Judges 1:19, Judah, whom God is with, are unable to drive out the inhabitants of the valley they want to invade, for they had iron chariots. Oh. Okay. So now we know God's one weakness! Iron chariots! I don't know about you, but I think I'd rather have iron chariots all around my house than go to church every Sunday. It's just so much more awesome.
Proverbs 8:17 shows that God is found by those who seek him, but Proverbs 1:28 shows that he is not. So which one is it?
Of course, there's the numerous discrepancies between the Old Testament God and the New Testament God; the latter of which is described as being good and kind and merciful and benevolent, while the Old Testament God is overtly wrathful, jealous, spiteful, bitter, mean, cruel, unusual, harsh, and punishes those who rub him the wrong way quite gratuitously. See Jeremiah 13:14, Deuteronomy 7:16, and First Samuel 15:2,3. What happened to God in the New Testament? He really calmed down a lot. Isn't it funny how after you have a kid your personality changes? Especially so for omnipotent beings, as it turns out. Of course we also have to note that the Old Testament God and the New Testament God are totally different entities, equally fictional, though totally different. The Old Testament God is Yahweh, a tribal god of fertility and such. In Genesis, it actually says "Elohim" created everything, not "God". "Elohim" is a plural word meaning "the gods". Multiple, dears; not one. Many.
Keep your eyes out for discrepancies in the Bible. Don't base your life on something man wrote. Only sheep need shepherds.
