Contradiction with Proverbs 12:22

Proverbs 12:22 states that "lying lips are abomination to the Lord," suggesting that God does not share in unrighteousness or deception, which seems to differ from the implication that God could be "froward" or contrary with the perverse.

Proverbs 12:22: Lying lips [are] abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly [are] his delight.

Contradiction with James 1:17

James 1:17 describes God as the "Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning," contrasting with the idea that God might alter His behavior based on the nature of others.

James 1:17: Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

Paradox #1

The moral conflict in the verse could be seen as God appearing to treat people differently based on their character, which may seem inconsistent with the idea of unconditional love and fairness. People might feel conflicted about the notion that one's behavior directly influences God's actions towards them, questioning the impartial nature of divine love.
