Contradiction with Hebrews 10:17
Hebrews 10:17 cites the same promise of God's forgiveness, reinforcing rather than contradicting the idea that God will forgive and forget sins.
Hebrews 10:17: And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. [And their: some copies have, Then he said, And their]
Paradox #1
Jeremiah 31:34 suggests that God will forgive sins and remember them no more. This might seem to conflict with other parts of the Bible where God is depicted as a judge or where there are consequences for sin. The tension is between the ideas of divine forgiveness and divine justice. However, many theologians interpret this as a promise of complete forgiveness and transformation for those who are part of the new covenant.
Paradox #2
Jeremiah 31:34 talks about a time when everyone will know God, and He will forgive their sins, remembering them no more. A potential contradiction or inconsistency might be found in the fact that other parts of the Bible talk about God's judgment and the need for people to repent to be forgiven, suggesting that forgiveness isn't automatic. This can seem conflicting because it raises questions about how forgiveness and knowledge of God happen.
Paradox #3
One possible contradiction in this verse could relate to the idea of forgiveness and personal responsibility. The verse implies that people will be forgiven and their sins will be forgotten, which could be seen as conflicting with the idea that individuals should take responsibility for their actions and seek to make amends. If every wrongdoing is automatically forgiven without accountability, it might undermine the importance of personal growth and restitution.
