Contradiction with Isaiah 45:5
States that there is no God besides the LORD, emphasizing monotheism, which could contradict the interpretation of being freed from multiple gods implied in worshipping only the LORD, which some may infer from "which brought thee out of the land of Egypt."
Isaiah 45:5: I [am] the LORD, and [there is] none else, [there is] no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
Contradiction with Exodus 20:3
Commands to have no other gods before the LORD, which might seem redundant if Deuteronomy 5:6's implication is solely freedom from physical bondage rather than idol worship.
Exodus 20:3: Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Contradiction with Psalm 146:3
Warns against putting trust in princes, which could contradict the perceived message in Deuteronomy 5:6 about relying on God for deliverance from Egypt, yet acknowledging human governance or authority.
Psalm 146:3: Put not your trust in princes, [nor] in the son of man, in whom [there is] no help. [help: or, salvation]
Contradiction with Hosea 13:4
God declares, "thou shalt know no god but me," which narrows the interpretation solely to monotheism while Deuteronomy 5:6 reflects historical liberation as an aspect of God's relationship with His people.
Hosea 13:4: Yet I [am] the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for [there is] no saviour beside me.
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 8:5-6
Although acknowledging 'gods many', clarifies that for Christians, there is only one God, potentially contradicting the focus on God's deliverance aspect in Deuteronomy 5:6, suggesting an expanded theological view.
1 Corinthians 8:5-6: For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
Contradiction with Acts 17:29
Suggests that we ought not to think of the Divine Being as an idol, which may contradict the traditional interpretation of God in Deuteronomy 5:6 pertaining to a God who actively intervenes in history.
Acts 17:29: Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 16:19-20
Comments on the futility of following other gods, potentially contrasting with the Old Testament view in Deuteronomy 5:6 where God is primarily the liberator from Egypt rather than a contrast to other deities.
Jeremiah 16:19-20: O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and [things] wherein [there is] no profit.
Paradox #1
The potential contradiction in Deuteronomy 5:6 could be the notion of a single God being the liberator of a specific group, leading to debates about exclusivity versus inclusivity. Some might see a conflict in promoting one group's freedom while seemingly ignoring others, raising questions about universal morality and justice.
