dictated by God no

And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him.

19:8 And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD.

19:9 And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD.

19:10 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,

19:11 And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.

19:19 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice. 19:20 And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.

Oh, geez! There is a guy by the name Mohammad who claims God commanded him to write the Koran, word-by-word, as God 'dictated' it to him.

If you want to 'play' VerseGenerator(R), let's pick a topic, such as "Can God be seen?"

Apparently "Yes"

And apaprently "NO!"

So, God then dictated to to the writer of the Old Testament that apparently He can be seen, except in Ex 33:20 when he sounds pretty definitive that NO MAN shall see Him and live.

But then that same God writes in 1 Timothy and 1 John that none of that impressive stuff in the OT is really true (any more I guess).

So, let's say that in the pre-NT time people did see God despite Gen 33:20), and in the NT times he is no longer visible...it's fun playing with VerseGenerator(R).
