Contradiction with Isaiah 42:8
This verse contradicts Acts 12:22 by declaring that God does not share His glory with any other, whereas Acts 12:22 describes the people attributing divine glory to Herod.
Isaiah 42:8: I [am] the LORD: that [is] my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
Contradiction with Exodus 20:3
This verse contradicts Acts 12:22 as it commands that no gods be placed before the Lord, while Acts 12:22 shows the crowd giving Herod god-like status.
Exodus 20:3: Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 6:13-14
This verse contradicts Acts 12:22 because it instructs to fear, serve, and take oaths only in God's name, contrasting the reverence given to Herod in Acts 12:22.
Deuteronomy 6:13-14: Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.
Contradiction with Acts 14:15
This verse contradicts Acts 12:22 as it urges people to turn from vain human adulation to worship the living God, unlike the praise Herod receives in Acts 12:22.
Acts 14:15: And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:
Contradiction with Revelation 19:10
This verse contradicts Acts 12:22 by emphasizing worship only to God, while Acts 12:22 details people directing divine praise to a human ruler.
Revelation 19:10: And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See [thou do it] not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Paradox #1
The verse "Acts 12:22" involves people praising King Herod Agrippa I as a god. Some people might see a conflict because the Bible teaches that only God should receive such worship and praise. This could be seen as a contradiction for those who believe that humans should not be given divine attributes. However, since the Bible condemns this behavior elsewhere, it can be seen as narrating human error rather than promoting it.
Paradox #2
The contradiction or conflict could be that the people are praising a human as if he were a god, which goes against the religious teaching that only God deserves such worship.
