Contradiction with Jeremiah 1:6
While Exodus 3:10 depicts God commissioning Moses to deliver Israel, Jeremiah 1:6 shows Jeremiah feeling unworthy to speak, highlighting a contrast in immediate acceptance of leadership roles.
Jeremiah 1:6: Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I [am] a child.
Contradiction with Jonah 1:3
Instead of accepting God's mission like Moses in Exodus 3:10, Jonah tries to flee, directly opposing the readiness seen in Exodus.
Jonah 1:3: But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.
Contradiction with Judges 6:14-15
Gideon questions his ability and status for God's mission, contrary to Moses's acceptance of his commission in Exodus 3:10.
Judges 6:14-15: And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?
Contradiction with Exodus 4:13
Moses himself hesitates later, asking God to send someone else, which contradicts his initial acceptance in 3:10.
Exodus 4:13: And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand [of him whom] thou wilt send. [wilt: or, shouldest]
Contradiction with Matthew 28:19
Jesus commands his disciples to go and teach all nations, a contrast to Moses's specific mission to bring Israelites out of Egypt.
Matthew 28:19: Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: [teach...: or, make disciples, or, Christians of all nations]
Contradiction with 1 Samuel 15:24
Saul admits to fearing people and disobeys God, differing from Moses's eventual compliance in carrying out God's orders.
1 Samuel 15:24: And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.
Contradiction with Isaiah 6:5
Isaiah expresses a sense of unworthiness upon receiving his mission, unlike the initial calling of Moses in Exodus 3:10.
Isaiah 6:5: Then said I, Woe [is] me! for I am undone; because I [am] a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts. [undone: Heb. cut off]
Paradox #1
Exodus 3:10 might present a moral conflict if one considers the idea of a divine being choosing a specific individual to lead a people out of suffering, raising questions about free will, human agency, and why intervention occurs at certain times but not others. The issue can revolve around why a higher power intervenes selectively in human affairs.
