Contradiction with Romans 2:4
Suggests that God's goodness leads to repentance, contrasting Job 36:9's depiction of punishment leading to humility.
Romans 2:4: Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
Contradiction with 1 John 4:8
States that God is love, which may contrast with the depiction of God chastising in Job 36:9.
1 John 4:8: He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 31:34
Promises that God will forgive iniquity and remember sins no more, differing from Job 36:9's notion of God showing individuals their transgressions.
Jeremiah 31:34: And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Contradiction with James 1:13
Asserts that God cannot be tempted by evil nor does He tempt anyone, which might seem at odds with the punitive perspective in Job 36:9.
James 1:13: Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: [evil: or, evils]
Contradiction with John 3:17
States that God sent His Son not to condemn the world, potentially contradicting the punitive nature described in Job 36:9.
John 3:17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Contradiction with Luke 15:7
Emphasizes joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, which may contrast with the corrective context in Job 36:9.
Luke 15:7: I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
Paradox #1
Job 36:9 involves the idea of showing people their wrongdoing and the consequences of their actions. A contradiction or conflict could arise from the belief that everyone should have the freedom to live as they choose without judgment or punishment from a higher power. This viewpoint conflicts with the idea that divine judgment or correction is justified or necessary.
