Contradiction with Isaiah 42:8
This verse states, "I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images," which emphasizes God's sole glory and name, potentially contradicting the sharing of His title with patriarchs as seen in Exodus 3:15.
Isaiah 42:8: I [am] the LORD: that [is] my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 8:6
This passage mentions, "But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ," which focuses on the singularity of God the Father, possibly conflicting with the trinitarian implications in Exodus 3:15.
1 Corinthians 8:6: But to us [there is but] one God, the Father, of whom [are] all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom [are] all things, and we by him. [in: or, for]
Contradiction with John 8:58
Jesus says, "Before Abraham was, I am," asserting His divinity which aligns with but challenges traditional interpretations of God's self-identification in Exodus 3:15.
John 8:58: Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Contradiction with Exodus 6:3
God says, "And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name Jehovah was I not known to them," suggesting a different understanding of God's name from Exodus 3:15, where God introduces Himself as "I AM."
Exodus 6:3: And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by [the name of] God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
Contradiction with Matthew 23:9
This verse says, "And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven," emphasizing the singular use of 'Father,' which may contrast with Exodus 3:15's generational title.
Matthew 23:9: And call no [man] your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 4:35
"Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the Lord he is God; there is none else beside him," emphasizing God's exclusivity which could conflict with the shared identification in Exodus 3:15.
Deuteronomy 4:35: Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he [is] God; [there is] none else beside him.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or inconsistency might involve the different names and titles used for God in various ancient cultures and texts. Some might note that using the name given in this verse could conflict with other historical or religious traditions where God was known by other names or titles, suggesting variations in how God was identified or understood across different times and communities.
Paradox #2
In Exodus 3:15, there might be a perceived contradiction in the idea of a singular, unchanging God who is also portrayed in various ways throughout the Bible. Some people might find inconsistency in the depiction of God as both merciful and wrathful in different parts of the Bible, creating a conflict in understanding God's true nature.
