Contradiction with Proverbs 3:25-26
This verse states that the Lord will be your confidence and keep you from fear, opposing Genesis 32:11 where Jacob expresses his fear.
Proverbs 3:25-26: Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
Contradiction with Isaiah 41:10
This verse assures fear not because God is with you, whereas Genesis 32:11 shows Jacob fearing his brother Esau.
Isaiah 41:10: Fear thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed; for I [am] thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
Contradiction with 2 Timothy 1:7
This verse says God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind, which contradicts Jacob's fear in Genesis 32:11.
2 Timothy 1:7: For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Contradiction with Philippians 4:6-7
This verse advises not to be anxious about anything, but Jacob demonstrates anxiety and fear in Genesis 32:11.
Philippians 4:6-7: Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Paradox #1
Genesis 32:11 involves a plea for protection, which may raise questions about the relationship between faith in divine protection and human action. The potential moral conflict could be in balancing reliance on divine intervention and taking personal responsibility for one's safety and actions. How much should one act independently versus depending on faith? This can create a moral tension or inconsistency for some people.
