Isaiah 45:5: I [am] the LORD, and [there is] none else, [there is] no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:

Paradox #1

Isaiah 45:5 suggests that there is only one true God. A potential contradiction could arise when comparing this with other biblical verses that mention the existence of other spiritual beings or "gods." This might create confusion about the nature and number of divine beings.

Paradox #2

Some people might see a contradiction between Isaiah 45:5, which emphasizes that there is only one God, and other parts of the Bible that talk about the Trinity—God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. They might find it hard to understand how God can be one and three at the same time. But many believe that these are different ways of understanding the same God, not a contradiction.

Paradox #3

Isaiah 45:5 states that there is only one God. The contradiction might be that ancient Israelites were influenced by and sometimes practiced polytheism, worshiping multiple gods before adopting strict monotheism. This could be seen as inconsistent with the message of an unchanging monotheistic belief.

Paradox #4

Isaiah 45:5 could pose a contradiction for those who believe in religious pluralism or multiple deities, as it strongly emphasizes the existence of only one God. This might conflict with belief systems that recognize multiple gods or divine figures.
