Paradox #1
Deuteronomy 32:50 could be seen as having a conflict with the idea of a just and loving God because it describes a command from God that involves death. Some might find it difficult to reconcile the notion of a benevolent deity with instances where God mandates death or allows suffering, which can appear inconsistent with the characteristics of love and justice. However, interpretations vary, and this depends on one's understanding of divine justice and the context within the biblical narrative.
Paradox #2
One possible contradiction in the context surrounding Deuteronomy 32:50 is the difference in the account of Moses' death in the Bible. In some parts, it's suggested that Moses was not allowed to enter the Promised Land because of an incident where he disobeyed God's instruction by striking a rock to bring forth water instead of speaking to it (as found in Numbers 20:10-13). However, another part of the Bible suggests that the reason for Moses not entering the land was as a punishment for the people's rebellion (as found in Deuteronomy 1:37). This inconsistency creates confusion about the exact reasons for Moses' fate.
Paradox #3
Deuteronomy 32:50 talks about death as something that happens according to God's command. The moral conflict here could be the idea of a loving and compassionate God allowing or commanding death, which might seem inconsistent with the concept of a benevolent deity in other parts of the Bible. This raises questions about the nature of God's justice and mercy.
