Contradictions and Paradoxes in Isaiah 48:11

Check out Contradictions Catalog of Isaiah 48:11 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Isaiah 48:11. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Isaiah, God is saying that He will do something important because He wants to protect His special name, and He won't let anyone else take the praise or glory that belongs to Him. It's like when you work hard on a drawing and don't want anyone else to take credit for it.

Isaiah 48:11: For mine own sake, [even] for mine own sake, will I do [it]: for how should [my name] be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another.

Contradiction with Isaiah 42:8

This verse states that God will not give His glory to another, which aligns with Isaiah 48:11, rather than contradicts, emphasizing the exclusive nature of God's glory.

Isaiah 42:8: I [am] the LORD: that [is] my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

Contradiction with John 17:1

In this verse, Jesus asks the Father to glorify Him, which can be seen as a contradiction since Isaiah 48:11 focuses on God not sharing His glory with another.

John 17:1: These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:

Paradox #1

The potential contradiction in this verse could be seen in the emphasis on God seeking glory for Himself, which might conflict with teachings on humility. In many religious and moral frameworks, humility is highly valued, and the idea of seeking one's own glory is often discouraged. This could seem inconsistent with the expectations placed on humans versus the actions attributed to God.
