Contradiction with Exodus 20:5
Contradicts the idea of God delivering people unconditionally by stating that God punishes children for the sins of their parents.
Exodus 20:5: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me;
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 32:39
Suggests God both wounds and heals, which can conflict with the portrayal of God solely as a liberator in Exodus 6:6.
Deuteronomy 32:39: See now that I, [even] I, [am] he, and [there is] no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither [is there any] that can deliver out of my hand.
Contradiction with Lamentations 3:38
Indicates God brings both calamity and good, challenging the view of God solely as a redeemer.
Lamentations 3:38: Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good?
Contradiction with 1 Samuel 15:2-3
Contradicts the image of a deliverer by commanding destruction rather than deliverance.
1 Samuel 15:2-3: Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember [that] which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid [wait] for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.
Contradiction with Isaiah 45:7
States that God creates both peace and evil, conflicting with the emphasis on liberation and redemption in Exodus 6:6.
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 Amos 3:6
Implies that disaster is God's doing, which contrasts with the act of deliverance presented in Exodus 6:6.
Amos 3:6: Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done [it]? [be afraid: or, run together?] [the LORD...: or, shall not the LORD do somewhat?]
Paradox #1
Exodus 6:6 talks about God promising to free the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. A contradiction or inconsistency might arise if archaeological evidence or historical records from Egypt contradict the timeline or the nature of this event, such as the absence of records of a large group of enslaved Israelites in Egypt or a mass exodus occurring at that time. However, such contradictions are often debated and lack consensus among historians and archaeologists.
Paradox #2
Exodus 6:6 talks about God promising to free the Israelites from slavery and oppression. One potential contradiction is that while this verse speaks of liberation and justice, parts of the Bible also include rules and laws that accept slavery. This inconsistency can cause confusion about the Bible's stance on slavery and freedom.
