Warns against going after other gods, directly opposing the behavior described in 2 Chronicles 25:15.

Paradox #1
2 Chronicles 25:15 talks about God being angry with King Amaziah for worshiping idols. A potential theological conflict might arise when considering the idea of an all-knowing God. If God knows everything, some might wonder why He would allow people to choose actions that go against His commandments, leading to anger later. This could seem inconsistent to those questioning the notion of free will versus divine foreknowledge.
Paradox #2
The contradiction in 2 Chronicles 25:15 could involve the concept of gods and idols having power or being real. From a scientific perspective, there is no evidence to support the existence of supernatural beings or powers. Science relies on observable and testable phenomena, and the idea of multiple gods or idols influencing events does not align with scientific understanding. Therefore, attributing power or influence to them could be seen as inconsistent with scientific principles.
