Contradiction with Matthew 19:26
This verse states that all things are possible with God, contradicting Exodus 7:14 where Pharaoh's heart is hardened, suggesting a limitation or predetermined course.
Matthew 19:26: But Jesus beheld [them], and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
Contradiction with 2 Peter 3:9
This verse implies God's desire for all to come to repentance, contradicting the notion in Exodus 7:14 where Pharaoh is not given a chance to repent initially.
2 Peter 3:9: The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Contradiction with Ezekiel 18:23
Here, God expresses no pleasure in the death of the wicked but desires their repentance, which contrasts with Pharaoh’s hardened heart in Exodus 7:14 leading to inevitable plagues.
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 1 Timothy 2:4
This verse mentions God's wish for all to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth, which contrasts with Exodus 7:14's narrative of Pharaoh's hardened heart leading to his downfall.
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 lies in the idea of free will versus divine intervention. If a person's behavior is influenced or controlled by a higher power, it raises questions about their responsibility for their actions. This could seem unfair or inconsistent with the notion of moral accountability.
