Contradiction with Isaiah 45:9
This verse suggests that it is futile for the created to question or resist the creator, whereas Jeremiah 18:4 indicates that the creator can remake the creation.
Isaiah 45:9: Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! [Let] the potsherd [strive] with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?
Contradiction with Romans 9:21
Here, it asserts the potter's absolute authority over the clay, implying no flaw in the initial creation, unlike Jeremiah 18:4, where the vessel is marred and remade.
Romans 9:21: Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
Contradiction with Genesis 1:31
States that everything God made was very good, implying no need for remaking, which contrasts with Jeremiah 18:4 where the vessel is marred.
Genesis 1:31: And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, [it was] very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. [And the evening...: Heb. And the evening was, and the morning was etc.]
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 7:13
Claims that no one can straighten what God has made crooked, contrasting the idea in Jeremiah 18:4 of remaking what was made imperfect.
Ecclesiastes 7:13: Consider the work of God: for who can make [that] straight, which he hath made crooked?
Paradox #1
The potential contradiction in this verse could be about the idea of control and free will. Some might see a conflict between the notion of a higher power shaping lives like a potter shapes clay and the belief that people have the freedom to shape their own destinies. It raises questions about how much control individuals have over their own lives versus a divine plan.
