Check out Contradictions Catalog of Jeremiah 23:24 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Jeremiah 23:24. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Jeremiah, God is saying that He can see everything and be everywhere, so no one can hide from Him. God fills the whole world and sky with His presence.

Jeremiah 23:24: Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.

Contradiction with 1 Kings 8:27

This verse questions whether God can truly dwell on earth or be contained by the temple, suggesting that God is beyond physical spaces, unlike the notion of God filling heaven and earth in Jeremiah 23:24.

1 Kings 8:27: But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?

Contradiction with Isaiah 66:1

This verse presents God's throne as heaven and the earth as His footstool, implying a transcendence and majesty that can't be contained within creation, contrasting with the idea of God filling these spaces as in Jeremiah 23:24.

Isaiah 66:1: Thus saith the LORD, The heaven [is] my throne, and the earth [is] my footstool: where [is] the house that ye build unto me? and where [is] the place of my rest?

Contradiction with Psalm 139:7-8

These verses emphasize the inescapable presence of God everywhere, which may seem contradictory if Jeremiah 23:24 is interpreted as God being specifically confined to heaven and earth.

Psalm 139:7-8: Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

Contradiction with Acts 17:24

Paul states that God does not live in temples made by human hands, contrasting the idea of God filling heaven and earth from Jeremiah 23:24 with a more abstract, omnipresent deity.

Acts 17:24: God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

Paradox #1

Jeremiah 23:24 suggests that there is a divine presence everywhere. A possible contradiction is that science relies on observable and measurable evidence, while the idea of an omnipresent being is not something that can be tested or measured by scientific methods.
