Contradiction with 1 John 1:8
This verse claims that if we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, whereas 2 Chronicles 29:6 acknowledges the sins of their fathers, presenting a scenario where sin is openly admitted.
1 John 1:8: If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Contradiction with Ezekiel 18:20
This verse states that the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, contrasting with 2 Chronicles 29:6 where the children are suffering due to their fathers' actions.
Ezekiel 18:20: The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 31:29-30
Here, it is stated that everyone will die for their own iniquity, differing from the idea in 2 Chronicles 29:6 of being affected by the sins of ancestors.
Jeremiah 31:29-30: In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge.
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 24:16
It says that children shall not be put to death for their fathers' sins, contrasting with the acknowledgment of fathers' sins in 2 Chronicles 29:6 affecting future generations.
Deuteronomy 24:16: The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or conflict in 2 Chronicles 29:6 could arise from the idea of collective punishment or guilt. This verse refers to the wrongdoings of ancestors impacting the current generation, which might conflict with the modern understanding of individual responsibility and justice. In today's view, it can seem unfair to hold people accountable for actions they did not commit personally.
