Contradiction with James 1:13
This verse says God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man, which contradicts Pharaoh claiming he had sinned against the Lord when it was the plagues brought by God which made him acknowledge this.
James 1:13: Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: [evil: or, evils]
Contradiction with 1 John 1:8
This verse states that if we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us, which contradicts Pharaoh acknowledging his sin, showing a rare instance of admitted sinfulness.
1 John 1:8: If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Contradiction with Romans 3:10
This verse says there is none righteous, no, not one, which can contradict Pharaoh confessing his wrong, as it implies a singular acknowledgment of guilt in an unrighteous character.
Romans 3:10: As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 7:20
This verse states there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not, contrasting with Pharaoh's admittance suggestive of an exceptional recognition not common to man.
Ecclesiastes 7:20: For [there is] not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.
Paradox #1
The verse suggests Pharaoh admits sin against the Lord, but he still continues to resist freeing the Israelites. This can seem inconsistent with genuine repentance, which usually leads to a change in behavior. Pharaoh's inability to follow through questions the sincerity of his statement.
Paradox #2
In Exodus 9:27, Pharaoh admits to sinning and acknowledges God's righteousness, only to later harden his heart again. The moral conflict here is the inconsistency in Pharaoh's recognition of wrongdoing and failure to follow through with a sincere change of heart, highlighting human tendencies towards insincerity or resisting change even when one is aware of the truth.
