Contradiction with Jeremiah 32:27

God states He can do anything, which could imply that His wonders were not limited to the situations described in Deuteronomy 4:34.

Contradiction with Matthew 19:26

Jesus states that all things are possible with God, which could be seen as a broader view of divine intervention compared to the specific acts in Deuteronomy 4:34.

God declares He will do a new thing, which may suggest a departure from past actions like those described in Deuteronomy 4:34.

Contradiction with John 1:14

Describes the Word becoming flesh, which is a different kind of divine act compared to those in Deuteronomy 4:34.

John 1:14: And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Paradox #1

In some historical and archaeological studies, there's an inconsistency regarding the events described in various parts of the Bible, like the miraculous acts attributed to God during the Israelites' exodus from Egypt. While the Bible depicts these as grand, miraculous events, some historians and archaeologists find limited or no direct evidence outside of biblical texts to verify this account, leading to debate and differing interpretations among scholars.

Paradox #2

Deuteronomy 4:34 talks about God using strong actions like signs, wonders, war, and power to save a group of people from another nation's control. A contradiction could be seen in the use of violent means to achieve a good end. Some might find it inconsistent with ideas of peace and non-violence.
