Contradiction with Job 5:17
Job 5:17 suggests that correction from the Lord is to be welcomed as it brings healing, contradicting the notion that chastening is solely for temporary profit as implied in Hebrews 12:10.
Job 5:17: Behold, happy [is] the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
Contradiction with 1 John 4:8
1 John 4:8 emphasizes God as love, implying that hardship is not from God and contradicts the disciplinary aspect suggested in Hebrews 12:10.
1 John 4:8: He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
Contradiction with Proverbs 3:12
Proverbs 3:12 equates God's reproof to love and delight, which may contradict the idea of temporary chastening found in Hebrews 12:10.
Proverbs 3:12: For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son [in whom] he delighteth.
Contradiction with Romans 2:4
Romans 2:4 highlights God’s kindness leading to repentance, which can be seen as contradictory to the concept of punishment for our profit as stated in Hebrews 12:10.
Romans 2:4: Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
Paradox #1
Hebrews 12:10 discusses how human parents discipline us for a short time as they see fit, but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in His holiness. A potential moral conflict could be in the understanding of discipline as a form of love and care. Some might see God's discipline as harsh or unnecessary, conflicting with a perception of a loving and compassionate deity. Additionally, there may be inconsistency in how different individuals experience what feels like "discipline," making it hard to universally see hardships as beneficial or divinely guided.
