Contradiction with Isaiah 29:16
This verse questions the creation criticizing its creator, implying a contradiction in God placing individuals as He wills, as stated in 1 Corinthians 12:18.
Isaiah 29:16: Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
Contradiction with Romans 9:20
This verse challenges the idea that the creation has the right to question its creator, potentially conflicting with the notion of God arranging individuals as He sees fit, as mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12:18.
Romans 9:20: Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed [it], Why hast thou made me thus? [repliest...: or, answerest again, or, disputest with God?]
Contradiction with Jeremiah 18:6
This verse depicts God as a potter with authority over clay, which contrasts with the idea of a predetermined placement or arrangement, as stated in 1 Corinthians 12:18.
Jeremiah 18:6: O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay [is] in the potter's hand, so [are] ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.
Paradox #1
The verse suggests that each person has a specific place and role assigned by God, which can conflict with the idea of personal freedom and choice. Some might see a contradiction between having pre-determined roles and the belief in free will or the pursuit of individual desires and goals.
