Contradiction with James 1:17
This verse states that God does not change, contrasting with Genesis 19:21, where God appears to change his action based upon Lot's request.
James 1:17: Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
Contradiction with Isaiah 46:10
This verse emphasizes God's unchanging purpose, contrasting with Genesis 19:21, where a change occurs based on human intervention.
Isaiah 46:10: Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times [the things] that are not [yet] done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
Contradiction with Numbers 23:19
This verse declares that God is not a man to change His mind, while Genesis 19:21 shows God responding to human petitions and altering His course.
Numbers 23:19: God [is] not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do [it]? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
Paradox #1
Genesis 19:21 mentions the mercy shown to Lot by allowing him to flee to a small town for safety. A potential contradiction could arise from the broader context where God's judgment is harsh on Sodom and Gomorrah, yet there is selective mercy toward Lot and his family. This may seem inconsistent with the idea of impartial divine justice. Some might question why Lot received mercy while others did not.
