Contradictions and Paradoxes in Hebrews 6:13

This verse states "God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?" Here, it is emphasized that God does not lie or change His mind, suggesting His promises are based on His word, not necessarily on an oath, contrasting with Hebrews 6:13's emphasis on God swearing by Himself.

This verse says, "I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return," indicating that God swears by Himself to declare His word, which aligns more than contradicts. However, the potential contradiction lies in the nuance that God's word itself is binding, not requiring an oath as in Hebrews 6:13.

In these verses, Jesus says, "But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool," which instructs against swearing oaths at all, presenting a contradiction to the concept in Hebrews 6:13 where God swears by Himself.

This verse commands, "But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath," which contradicts the practice of swearing oaths, including God swearing by Himself in Hebrews 6:13.
