Jacob wrestles with God Almighty and wins. God changes Jacob’s name to Israel to signify that he wrestled with God and “prevailed.” (Gen 32:24-30)
Respond: This proves that God Almighty can decent and can enter his own creation and can take any form could be man and even non living beings which is mentioned in (Ex 13:21-22 & 19:9) in the form of a Pillar of Cloud by Day and in the form of Pillar of Fire by Night.
Jacob displays his (and God’s) knowledge of biology by having goats copulate while looking at streaked rods. The result is streaked baby goats. (Gen 30:37-39)
Respond: The verse (Gen 30:37-39) could be treated has an advanced science or still not convincing then the verses are clear “the animals mated in front of the rod and not with the rods”.
God says that Jacob will henceforth be called Israel, but the Bible continues to call him Jacob anyway. And even God himself calls him Jacob in (Gen 46:2)
Respond: (Gen 30:28) is two chapters before when Jacob is known has Israel (Gen 32:28), and in (Gen 46:2) 2 God spoke to Israel in visions of the night, and said, “Jacob, Jacob.” And he said, “Here I am.” Reading this sentence it is clear that Moses the author of Genesis knows who is Israel and goes on to write that Yahweh God “called Israel has Jacob, now when we look back to (Gen 32:28) Yahweh nowhere says that he (Yahweh God) will address Jacob has Israel and says that it is compulsory to say Israel and not Jacob. The verse itself is clear that Jacob got a divine name from Gad Almighty Israel which means “A Prince of God”. So, it is a title or a divine name.
