Contradiction with Psalm 24:1
This verse asserts that the earth and everything in it belong to the Lord, which may contradict the specific allocation of Jacob as the Lord's portion in Deuteronomy 32:9.
Psalm 24:1: [A Psalm of David.] The earth [is] the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 10:26
Echoes Psalm 24:1 in stating that the earth and its fullness are the Lord's, presenting a universal claim over everything, unlike the specified inheritance in Deuteronomy 32:9.
1 Corinthians 10:26: For the earth [is] the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.
Contradiction with Romans 11:36
States that all things are from, through, and to God, implying that God's possession is all-encompassing rather than the specific allotment mentioned in Deuteronomy 32:9.
Romans 11:36: For of him, and through him, and to him, [are] all things: to whom [be] glory for ever. Amen. [whom: Gr. him]
Contradiction with Exodus 19:5
Declares that the whole earth is God's, which can be seen as a broader claim than the specified inheritance of Jacob in Deuteronomy 32:9.
Exodus 19:5: Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth [is] mine:
Contradiction with Acts 17:24
States that God made the world and everything in it, and does not dwell in temples made by humans, implying His dominion over all rather than a specific inheritance.
Acts 17:24: God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
Paradox #1
Deuteronomy 32:9 describes a special relationship between God and His people, which can raise questions when compared to other Bible verses that speak about God's relationship with all nations or individuals. Some might see a tension between the idea of God having a chosen nation and the idea of God's universal love and care for all people. This could seem inconsistent with the notion of impartiality or fairness found in other parts of the Bible.
Paradox #2
The contradiction or inconsistency of Deuteronomy 32:9 could lie in the idea of God's chosen people or inheritance. Different parts of the Bible might present varying views on which group or nation is considered God's special people, leading to debates on interpretations and meanings in different historical and theological contexts.
Paradox #3
Deuteronomy 32:9 suggests that a particular group or nation is God's chosen people or portion. The contradiction or conflict here might arise from the idea of favoritism or inequality. This can be seen as conflicting with the belief that all people should be treated equally regardless of their background or identity. Such favoritism could raise questions about fairness and universal love.
