Contradiction with Job 11:7
It suggests that God cannot be fully understood or found out by human beings, which contrasts with the concept in Acts 17:27 that God is not far and can be sought out.
Job 11:7: Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
Contradiction with Isaiah 55:8-9
These verses emphasize that God's ways and thoughts are much higher than human understanding, which could contradict the notion that He is easily approachable as implied in Acts 17:27.
Isaiah 55:8-9: For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
Contradiction with Romans 11:33
This verse speaks of the depth and unsearchable nature of God's wisdom and judgments, which may contradict Acts 17:27 suggesting God is near and accessible.
Romans 11:33: O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable [are] his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
Contradiction with 1 Timothy 6:16
It states that God dwells in unapproachable light, which contradicts the idea in Acts 17:27 that people can seek and find Him.
1 Timothy 6:16: Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom [be] honour and power everlasting. Amen.
Contradiction with Exodus 33:20
It mentions that no one can see God's face and live, contrasting with the implication in Acts 17:27 that God is near and can be found.
Exodus 33:20: And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
Paradox #1
The potential contradiction or conflict could arise from the idea that while the verse suggests God is close to everyone, some people feel abandoned or disconnected from God due to personal suffering or difficult circumstances. This can create tension between the belief in God's closeness and the individual's personal experience of feeling distant from God.
