Contradiction with Jeremiah 5:1
While Genesis 18:32 shows God willing to spare Sodom for ten righteous people, Jeremiah 5:1 depicts a situation where God seeks one person to execute judgment in Jerusalem but is unable to find any, indicating a different standard or outcome.
Jeremiah 5:1: Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be [any] that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.
Contradiction with Isaiah 1:9
Genesis 18:32 demonstrates God's willingness to spare Sodom for a few righteous, but Isaiah 1:9 speaks of the population being as small as a very few survivors, highlighting a greater destruction without such sparing.
Isaiah 1:9: Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, [and] we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
Paradox #1
Some people might see a contradiction in how God seems willing to change a planned action—destroying Sodom—if enough righteous people are found. This could seem inconsistent with the idea of God being unchanging and all-knowing, as it appears that God negotiates with Abraham. However, others argue that it shows God's mercy and willingness to save, rather than a true inconsistency.
Paradox #2
Genesis 18:32 involves a negotiation between God and Abraham regarding the fate of Sodom. A possible contradiction or conflict here could be the idea of collective punishment versus individual responsibility. The dialogue suggests that a whole city could be spared or destroyed based on the presence of a few righteous people. This might seem inconsistent with the notion that individuals should be judged based on their actions rather than being subject to the consequences of the actions of others.
