Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 9:11
Genesis 1:18 describes the order and purpose in creation, while this verse suggests randomness in life's outcomes.
Ecclesiastes 9:11: I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race [is] not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
Contradiction with Job 12:22
Genesis 1:18 speaks to the separation of light and darkness, but this verse indicates God reveals deep and hidden things, unifying rather than separating concepts like light and darkness.
Job 12:22: He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.
Contradiction with Isaiah 45:7
Genesis 1:18 points to the creation as good and purposeful, whereas this verse suggests God creates peace and evil, introducing a notion of dualistic creation.
Isaiah 45:7: I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these [things].
Contradiction with Jeremiah 4:23
Genesis 1:18 portrays order in creation, while this verse describes the earth as formless and void, indicating chaos rather than order.
Jeremiah 4:23: I beheld the earth, and, lo, [it was] without form, and void; and the heavens, and they [had] no light.
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 14:33
Genesis 1:18 establishes a structured cosmos, whereas this verse claims God is not the author of confusion, contrasting with any perceived disorder.
1 Corinthians 14:33: For God is not [the author] of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. [confusion: Gr. tumult, or, unquietness]
