Contradiction with John 14:6
This verse presents Jesus as the way to God, which contrasts with Isaiah 43:11's emphasis on God as the only savior.
John 14:6: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Contradiction with Acts 4:12
States that salvation is through Jesus Christ, whereas Isaiah 43:11 declares no savior besides God.
Acts 4:12: Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Contradiction with Philippians 2:10-11
Indicates that every knee should bow to Jesus, seemingly contradicting the unique divine authority in Isaiah 43:11.
Philippians 2:10-11: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth;
Contradiction with 1 Timothy 2:5
Describes Jesus as the mediator, adding a role between God and humanity that Isaiah 43:11 does not mention.
1 Timothy 2:5: For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
Paradox #1
Isaiah 43:11 claims that there is no savior besides the Lord. Some theologians may see a contradiction when this is compared to the New Testament, where Jesus is referred to as the Savior. This could be viewed as inconsistent if one doesn't understand or accept the Christian doctrine of the Trinity, where God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are considered one.
Paradox #2
One potential contradiction with Isaiah 43:11 is the belief in the Trinity. Some interpret this verse as emphasizing the oneness of God, which might seem to conflict with the concept of the Trinity, where God exists as three persons: the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit. This could cause confusion about how these three are one yet distinct. However, many Christian doctrines harmonize this by viewing the Trinity as a mystery of faith.
Paradox #3
The potential conflict with Isaiah 43:11 is that some people see a contradiction between the Bible's statement that there is no Savior besides God and the Christian belief that Jesus is also a Savior. This is debated among religious scholars and interpretations differ. Some see it as a contradiction, while others offer explanations that reconcile the two views.
Paradox #4
The contradiction or inconsistency might arise for people who follow different religions or belief systems, which have their own deities or paths to salvation. They might see this verse as conflicting with their belief that there are multiple paths or different understandings of divinity and salvation. This could cause a conflict with the idea of religious inclusivity and the acceptance of diverse beliefs.
