Contradiction with 2 Samuel 7:14
This verse speaks of God being a father to Solomon, implying a sense of divine parentage similar to that mentioned in Hebrews 1:5, potentially contradicting the exclusivity implied in Hebrews 1:5 regarding Jesus as God's Son.
2 Samuel 7:14: I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men:
Contradiction with Psalm 2:7
While Hebrews 1:5 quotes this verse to affirm Jesus's sonship, the original context of this Psalm refers to a king of Israel, thus broadening the scope of "sonship" beyond a singular messianic figure.
Psalm 2:7: I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou [art] my Son; this day have I begotten thee. [the decree: or, for a decree]
Contradiction with Acts 13:33
This verse shows an application of Psalm 2:7 to Jesus's resurrection, raising potential contradictions in understanding when Jesus is uniquely declared the Son of God, conflicting with the birth context implied in Hebrews 1:5.
Acts 13:33: God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
Contradiction with 2 Corinthians 6:18
Here, believers are collectively addressed as children of God, suggesting a shared sonship with Jesus that could contrast with the exclusive father-son relationship mentioned in Hebrews 1:5.
2 Corinthians 6:18: And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
Contradiction with Job 1:6
This verse mentions "sons of God" presenting themselves before the Lord, which may imply multiple beings with a sonship status, contradicting the implication in Hebrews 1:5 about Jesus's unique sonship.
Job 1:6: Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. [Satan: Heb. the adversary] [among: Heb. in the midst of]
Paradox #1
Hebrews 1:5 discusses God referring to Jesus in a unique way compared to angels. A contradiction might be seen between this and certain Old Testament passages where angels could also be seen as "sons of God" (like in Job 1:6). However, Hebrews emphasizes Jesus' unique sonship, which could be inconsistent with these older texts' broader usage of the term.
