Contradiction with Deuteronomy 5:9

It states that God is jealous and visits the iniquity of the fathers upon children to the third and fourth generation, contradicting the idea of mercy and not forsaking returnees mentioned in 2 Chronicles 30:9.

Deuteronomy 5:9: Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me,

Psalm 9:17: The wicked shall be turned into hell, [and] all the nations that forget God.

Contradiction with Ezekiel 18:20

It emphasizes that the soul who sins shall die, contrasting with the idea that returning to the Lord will result in receiving compassion in 2 Chronicles 30:9.

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.

Paradox #1

The potential contradiction in 2 Chronicles 30:9 could stem from the assurance of compassion and mercy from God upon repentance, which might conflict with other parts of the Bible that emphasize strict justice or punishment for wrongdoing. This could be seen as inconsistent with the concept of a just deity who also forgives offenses without retribution.
