Contradiction with Genesis 1:31
Genesis 1:31 describes everything God made as "very good," which can contradict the idea of an impending global flood to destroy life as stated in Genesis 7:4.
Genesis 1:31: And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, [it was] very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. [And the evening...: Heb. And the evening was, and the morning was etc.]
Contradiction with Genesis 9:11
Genesis 9:11 promises that there will never again be a flood to destroy the earth, which contradicts the necessity and rationale of the flood described in Genesis 7:4.
Genesis 9:11: And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
Contradiction with James 1:13
James 1:13 states that God does not tempt with evil, which could contradict the notion of God causing a devastating flood that destroys all living creatures in Genesis 7:4.
James 1:13: Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: [evil: or, evils]
Contradiction with 1 John 4:8
1 John 4:8 claims that God is love, which could contradict the actions of causing widespread destruction with a flood as described in Genesis 7:4.
1 John 4:8: He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
Paradox #1
The contradiction in this verse is related to the feasibility of a global flood lasting 40 days and 40 nights, which would require a massive amount of water to cover all the land on Earth. Scientifically, there is no evidence of a global flood occurring in recent geological history, and the volume of water needed to cover the Earth's surface entirely exceeds what is currently present on the planet. Additionally, the logistical aspects of collecting and housing all species on an ark raise questions when compared to our understanding of biodiversity and ecosystems.
Paradox #2
Genesis 7:4 involves God's decision to bring about a great flood to destroy all living creatures except those on Noah's ark. The potential contradiction here could be the idea of a loving and merciful God choosing to wipe out almost all life on Earth, including both people and animals, as a form of punishment. This action might seem inconsistent with the concept of a compassionate deity.
