Numbers 23 19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?  -kjv 19 God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?  -niv 19 God is not a man who lies, or a son of man who changes His mind. Does He speak and not act, or promise and not fulfill?  -hcsb Observations and Comments

  1. Numbers 23:19 is a verse that Muslim apologist commonly use to argue against the incarnation, that God became a man.

  2. The verse is not saying that Jesus cannot become a man but that God is not like humanity, men and women, who lie. The idea is taken out of context by Muslim apologists legalistically too.

  3. This verse is proclaimed by Balaam. Balaam is a true prophet and Moses included Balaam's word as truth. Learned this from open line, moody radio broadcast of June 27, 2015
