Contradiction with Proverbs 15:3
It states that the eyes of the LORD are everywhere, which contradicts the notion of God being in one specific place as implied in Genesis 28:17.
Proverbs 15:3: The eyes of the LORD [are] in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
Contradiction with Isaiah 66:1
It declares Heaven as God's throne and the earth as His footstool, suggesting God's presence is not confined to one location.

Contradiction with Acts 7:48
This verse argues that the Most High does not dwell in temples made by hands, contradicting the idea of a specific sacred place.

Contradiction with Jeremiah 23:24

Paradox #1
The verse itself is often seen as portraying a sense of awe and recognition of a sacred place. A possible contradiction or inconsistency might arise when considering the idea of a specific location being deemed sacred. Some might question why certain places are considered holy and others are not, or whether the presence of God should make all places equally sacred. Such distinctions could be seen as inconsistent with the broader idea that God is present everywhere.
