Contradictions and Paradoxes in Isaiah 43:10

Check out Contradictions Catalog of Isaiah 43:10 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Isaiah 43:10. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Isaiah, God is saying that the people he chose are like special messengers who know him well. He wants them to believe and understand that He is the only God, and there was no other God before Him and there will be no other after Him.

Isaiah 43:10: Ye [are] my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I [am] he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. [no...: or, nothing formed of God]

Paradox #1

Some people might see a contradiction between Isaiah 43:10 and other parts of the Bible that mention multiple divine beings or gods, like in Psalm 82 where it talks about a divine council or assembly of gods. They might wonder how there can be multiple divine figures if there's only one true God according to Isaiah 43:10. However, many theologians explain this by suggesting that other divine figures are not gods in the same way God is, or they interpret these texts differently to resolve the conflict.

Paradox #2

The potential doctrinal conflict with Isaiah 43:10 could arise in discussions about the nature of God, particularly in the context of monotheism versus the concept of a plurality of gods or beings often found in other religious beliefs. The verse emphasizes that there is only one God and no other gods were formed before or after. This can conflict with doctrines or beliefs that propose the existence of multiple gods or divine beings, such as polytheism. Additionally, interpretations of the Trinity could face challenges if misunderstood, since the doctrine asserts one God in three persons.

Paradox #3

Some people point out a contradiction between Isaiah 43:10, which emphasizes the uniqueness of God, and other religious texts or beliefs that suggest the existence of multiple gods. Additionally, interpretations of the Bible that imply the presence of other divine figures or beings might seem inconsistent with the idea presented in this verse.
