Alleged Biblical Inconsistencies
GE 35:10 God says Jacob is to be called Jacob no longer; henceforth his name is Israel.
GE 46:2 At a later time, God himself uses the name Jacob.
Is this truly inconsistent? Not at all.
The reality is that from that day forward Jacob was primarily called Israel. The issue was not that he would NEVER AGAIN be called Jacob, but that he would primarily be called Israel.
It is the same as a man growing up being called Francis and deciding that he no longer will be called Francis, but will be called Frank. He will still be called Francis by many people who knew him as a child. He will, however, primarily be called Frank by those who associate with him frequently, because they choose to honor his choice.
