Contradiction with Romans 8:31
This verse asks who can be against us if God is for us, contradicting the belief in Deuteronomy 1:27 that God was against the Israelites.
Romans 8:31: What shall we then say to these things? If God [be] for us, who [can be] against us?
Contradiction with Isaiah 41:10
This verse reassures that God is with His people and will strengthen and uphold them, contradicting the perception in Deuteronomy 1:27 of God having malevolent intentions.
Isaiah 41:10: Fear thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed; for I [am] thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
Contradiction with Psalm 23:1
This verse states that God, as a shepherd, ensures that His people do not want, contradicting the accusation of Deuteronomy 1:27 that God brought them out to destroy them.
Psalm 23:1: [A Psalm of David.] The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall not want.
Contradiction with Numbers 23:19
This verse claims that God does not lie or change His mind, contradicting the implication in Deuteronomy 1:27 that God’s intentions were harmful.
Numbers 23:19: God [is] not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do [it]? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
Contradiction with Psalm 121:7
This verse affirms that the Lord will preserve His people from all evil, which contradicts the belief expressed in Deuteronomy 1:27 of God bringing them out for harm.
Psalm 121:7: The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
Paradox #1
Deuteronomy 1:27 might be seen as inconsistent with the idea of God's loving care. In this verse, the Israelites complain that God brought them out of Egypt to let them be destroyed by their enemies, which conflicts with the belief in a benevolent, protective God. This reflects a lack of trust in God's intentions and promises.
Paradox #2
Some people might see a contradiction in this verse because it suggests that, despite being led out of slavery and towards freedom, the people felt abandoned and mistreated by God. This could be confusing as it conflicts with the idea of God being consistently good and protective towards his people.
