Check out Contradictions Catalog of 2 Chronicles 6:8 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts 2 Chronicles 6:8. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to the author of 2 Chronicles, God told David that He was happy because David wanted to build a special house for Him. Even though David wouldn't build it himself, God was pleased that David had such a good idea in his heart.

2 Chronicles 6:8: But the LORD said to David my father, Forasmuch as it was in thine heart to build an house for my name, thou didst well in that it was in thine heart:

Paradox #1

2 Chronicles 6:8 mentions God's acknowledgment of David's desire to build a temple. A potential inconsistency arises when comparing this with 1 Chronicles 22:8 and 1 Kings 5:3, which state that David was not allowed to build the temple because of his involvement in wars and shedding blood. The contradiction lies in why David was not permitted to build the temple—whether it was purely about God's plan or related to David's actions.

Paradox #2

The moral conflict in this verse could revolve around the idea that having good intentions or desires is sometimes not enough to fulfill a moral or divine purpose, as actions are often seen as more important. The verse suggests that intentions are recognized but do not always lead to the desired outcome, which can be seen as inconsistent with the belief that good intentions should lead to good results.
