Contradiction with Jeremiah 18:8
This verse suggests that if a nation repents, God will relent from bringing disaster, which aligns with 1 Kings 21:27 rather than contradicting it.
Jeremiah 18:8: If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.
Contradiction with Amos 7:3
God relenting from sending disaster contradicts the expectation that punishment follows sin without exception.
Amos 7:3: The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith the LORD.
Contradiction with Jonah 3:10
This verse shows God's acceptance of repentance similarly to 1 Kings 21:27, demonstrating He's willing to forgive when individuals turn from evil.
Jonah 3:10: And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did [it] not.
Paradox #1
1 Kings 21:27 describes a reaction of humility and repentance. A potential contradiction could arise with verses that suggest a person’s actions can't change their ultimate fate or divine judgment. Some might see inconsistency between divine justice and mercy if repentance alters the outcome initially stated by God. However, many interpret these as compatible, showing both justice and mercy.
