Contradiction with Isaiah 55:8-9
These verses emphasize God's thoughts and ways being higher than human ways, which contrasts with the direct intervention and prediction seen in Exodus 11:9.
Isaiah 55:8-9: For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
Contradiction with Ezekiel 18:23
This verse suggests God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked, contradicting the implied intent to harden Pharaoh's heart in Exodus 11:9.
Ezekiel 18:23: Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: [and] not that he should return from his ways, and live?
Contradiction with Jonah 3:10
Illustrates God's propensity to relent from sending calamity when one repents, unlike His insistence on following through with the signs and wonders in Exodus 11:9.
Jonah 3:10: And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did [it] not.
Contradiction with 1 Timothy 2:4
States God's desire for all to be saved and come to knowledge, which conflicts with the hardening of the heart seen in Exodus 11:9 for the purpose of demonstrating signs.
1 Timothy 2:4: Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
Paradox #1
The potential contradiction in Exodus 11:9 could be regarding the concept of God's hardening of Pharaoh's heart. It raises questions about free will and whether Pharaoh's choices were truly his own or if they were influenced by God, which could seem inconsistent with the idea of people being responsible for their own actions.
Paradox #2
Exodus 11:9 involves God telling Moses that Pharaoh will not listen to him so that God's wonders may be multiplied in Egypt. A contradiction might arise when comparing this to the concept of free will. If Pharaoh's refusal to listen is divinely ordained to display God's power, this could be seen as conflicting with the idea of Pharaoh exercising free will in his decisions.
Paradox #3
The possible contradiction in that verse is about God hardening Pharaoh's heart. This could raise questions about free will and responsibility since if God is influencing Pharaoh's decisions, it seems unfair to then punish Pharaoh and his people for those decisions. It might seem inconsistent with the idea of a just and loving God.
