Contradiction with Ezekiel 18:20
This verse emphasizes individual responsibility for sin, whereas Deuteronomy 11:13 talks about collective obedience leading to blessings.
Ezekiel 18:20: The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Contradiction with Matthew 5:44-45
This passage suggests that God causes the sun to rise and rain to fall on both the just and the unjust, which can contradict the conditional blessings based on obedience in Deuteronomy 11:13.
Matthew 5:44-45: But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Contradiction with Job 1:8-12
In this story, Job is depicted as a righteous and obedient man who experiences severe suffering, conflicting with the promise of blessings for obedience in Deuteronomy 11:13.
Job 1:8-12: And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that [there is] none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? [considered: Heb. set thy heart on]
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 9:1-2
These verses imply that the same fate (good or bad) befalls both the righteous and the wicked, challenging the idea of conditional blessings for obedience found in Deuteronomy 11:13.
Ecclesiastes 9:1-2: For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, [are] in the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred [by] all [that is] before them. [I considered...: Heb. I gave, or, set to my heart]
Contradiction with Psalm 73:3-12
The Psalmist observes that the wicked prosper, which seems contrary to Deuteronomy 11:13 where blessings are promised for obedience.
Psalm 73:3-12: For I was envious at the foolish, [when] I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
Paradox #1
Deuteronomy 11:13 discusses the need to love and serve God wholeheartedly in order to receive blessings, like rain for crops. A potential contradiction is that it implies conditional love and blessings, suggesting that divine love and provision are dependent on specific actions, which could conflict with the idea of unconditional divine love.
