Contradiction with Exodus 20:3-5
These verses command not to worship other gods or make graven images, contradicting 2 Chronicles 33:5 where altars for worship are built in the house of the Lord.
Exodus 20:3-5: Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 12:2-4
These verses instruct the destruction of altars to other gods, whereas 2 Chronicles 33:5 describes the construction of such altars in the temple.
Deuteronomy 12:2-4: Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree: [possess: or, inherit]
Contradiction with 1 Kings 8:16-20
These verses affirm the temple as a place for God's name, conflicting with the altars to other deities mentioned in 2 Chronicles 33:5.
1 Kings 8:16-20: Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be therein; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 7:30
This verse condemns placing abominations in the Lord’s house, which contrasts with the altars built in the house of the Lord in 2 Chronicles 33:5.
Jeremiah 7:30: For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the LORD: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it.
Contradiction with Ezekiel 8:5-6
These verses describe idolatry as an abomination, opposing the erecting of altars for other deities in the temple as noted in 2 Chronicles 33:5.
Ezekiel 8:5-6: Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.
Paradox #1
The verse mentions building altars for "all the host of heaven" in the temple, which contradicts the First Commandment that insists on worshiping only one God. This action goes against the exclusive worship of God expected in other parts of the Bible, leading to a conflict in religious practice and loyalty.
Paradox #2
The verse could be seen as conflicting with earlier commandments against idolatry found in the Ten Commandments, where worshiping other gods or creating idols is prohibited. It shows a king setting up altars for other deities, which goes against those commands.
Paradox #3
The contradiction here could be related to the religious practices described, which conflict with earlier biblical teachings that emphasize worshipping only the God of Israel and condemning idolatry. This inconsistency highlights a tension between certain actions of a king and the broader religious laws given in other parts of the Bible.
Paradox #4
The contradiction in this verse might lie in the act of building altars for celestial bodies, conflicting with the biblical teaching of worshipping only God. This can be seen as inconsistent with the commandment against idolatry and worshipping false gods.
