Contradiction with Genesis 1:3
This verse describes the creation of light, which is in contrast to Exodus 14:20 where there is darkness on one side and light on the other.
Genesis 1:3: And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Contradiction with 1 John 1:5
This verse states that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all, contradicting the simultaneous presence of light and darkness in Exodus 14:20.
1 John 1:5: This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
Contradiction with Isaiah 45:7
This verse states that God created both light and darkness, which could imply a singular control rather than the duality seen in Exodus 14:20.
Isaiah 45:7: I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these [things].
Contradiction with 2 Corinthians 6:14
The verse questions what communion light has with darkness, which undermines the coexistence described in Exodus 14:20.
2 Corinthians 6:14: Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
Contradiction with John 1:5
This verse implies that light shines in darkness and the darkness does not overcome it, yet Exodus 14:20 describes both as present simultaneously.
John 1:5: And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. [comprehended: or, did not admit, or, receive]
Paradox #1
The contradiction or conflict in this verse could be seen in the dual nature of divine intervention, as it provides protection for one group while simultaneously endangering another. This could raise questions about fairness and the ethics of divine partiality.
