Contradiction with Genesis 18:32
This verse continues the negotiation and reduction of righteous necessary to spare Sodom, matching the approach rather than contradicting.
Genesis 18:32: And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy [it] for ten's sake.
Contradiction with Ezekiel 18:20
This verse states the soul that sins will die, suggesting individual responsibility and punishment, contrasting with the bargaining for a city's collective fate in Genesis 18:28.
Ezekiel 18:20: The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Contradiction with Matthew 12:36
This verse speaks of individual accountability for every idle word in judgment, contrasting with the collective bargaining over Sodom for the sake of a few righteous in Genesis 18:28.
Matthew 12:36: But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
Contradiction with Proverbs 28:13
Implies a personal responsibility for one's sins and need for confession, contrasting with the idea of collective salvation in Genesis 18:28.
Proverbs 28:13: He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh [them] shall have mercy.
Paradox #1
Genesis 18:28 deals with a negotiation about sparing a city if a certain number of righteous people are found. A possible contradiction could be the idea of collective punishment versus individual justice. This raises questions about the fairness of punishing the entire group for the sins of some, instead of judging each person individually.
