Contradiction with Numbers 23:19
Numbers 23:19 states that God is not a man that He should lie or repent, contrasting with 1 Samuel 19:23 where God seemingly changes a person's actions by making them prophesy.
Numbers 23:19: God [is] not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do [it]? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
Contradiction with James 1:13
James 1:13 asserts that God cannot be tempted with evil, neither does He tempt any man, suggesting a contradiction with 1 Samuel 19:23 where God influences Saul's actions directly.
James 1:13: Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: [evil: or, evils]
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 14:33
1 Corinthians 14:33 states that God is not the author of confusion, which contrasts with 1 Samuel 19:23 where the spirit of God causes Saul to prophesy, creating an unexpected and confusing scenario.
1 Corinthians 14:33: For God is not [the author] of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. [confusion: Gr. tumult, or, unquietness]
Paradox #1
The verse in question describes an event where someone is unexpectedly influenced by the Spirit of God, which might seem inconsistent with other parts of the Bible where the Spirit's influence is typically associated with willing and righteous individuals. This could be seen as conflicting with the idea of free will or the belief that God's Spirit only acts through people who are obedient and faithful. This inconsistency could raise questions about how and why the Spirit of God operates in certain situations and individuals.
