Contradiction with Exodus 20:4
This verse prohibits the making of graven images, while 1 Kings 6:26 describes the construction of large cherubim statues in the temple.
Exodus 20:4: Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth:
Contradiction with Acts 7:48
Suggests that God does not dwell in temples made with hands, which contrasts with the grand physical temple described in 1 Kings 6:26.
Acts 7:48: Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,
Contradiction with John 4:24
Implies that true worship is in spirit and truth, contrasting with the physical and elaborate worship setting in 1 Kings 6:26.
John 4:24: God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 7:4
Warns against trusting in the temple, implying that physical structures like those in 1 Kings 6:26 are not what protect or guarantee God's favor.
Jeremiah 7:4: Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, [are] these.
Contradiction with Isaiah 66:1
Declares that heaven is God's throne and earth His footstool, diminishing the significance of any earthly house like the one described in 1 Kings 6:26.
Isaiah 66:1: Thus saith the LORD, The heaven [is] my throne, and the earth [is] my footstool: where [is] the house that ye build unto me? and where [is] the place of my rest?
Paradox #1
The verse mentions two cherubim in the innermost sanctuary of Solomon's temple, each ten cubits high. A cubit is approximately 18 inches, making each cherub about 15 feet tall. The potential contradiction is with the practical architectural considerations of a building from that era housing such large figures, given the technological and material limitations of ancient construction. However, without specific evidence from the time that could either confirm or deny this possibility, it remains speculative.
