Contradiction with Genesis 1:1
Job 38:7 implies the sons of God existed before creation, but Genesis 1:1 suggests that the universe and all beings were created by God after this moment.
Genesis 1:1: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Contradiction with John 1:3
Job 38:7 indicates beings like the "sons of God" existed as creation was laid, whereas John 1:3 states that all things were created through the Word (implying none existed beforehand).
John 1:3: All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Contradiction with Colossians 1:16
Job 38:7 portrays heavenly beings as pre-existing creation celebrations, whereas Colossians 1:16 suggests everything was created by Christ without prior existence.
Colossians 1:16: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Contradiction with Isaiah 44:24
Job 38:7 can be interpreted that "sons of God" already saw creation being shaped, but Isaiah 44:24 asserts the Lord alone made all things unaided and outside already existing life.
Isaiah 44:24: Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I [am] the LORD that maketh all [things]; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;
Contradiction with Psalm 33:9
Job 38:7 gives a picture of other beings observing creation, yet Psalm 33:9 highlights that creation was a direct and solitary command from God.
Psalm 33:9: For he spake, and it was [done]; he commanded, and it stood fast.
Contradiction with Hebrews 11:3
Job 38:7 implies pre-existing witnesses to God's work; however, Hebrews 11:3 emphasizes creation was made from nothing visible, suggesting no audience pre-existed.
Hebrews 11:3: Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Contradiction with Revelation 4:11
Job 38:7 depicts earlier beings witnessing creation, contradicting Revelation 4:11 where it is stated all things were created by God's will, implying no other beings were present.
Revelation 4:11: Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
Paradox #1
The potential contradiction or inconsistency with Job 38:7 could relate to the timing of the creation of angels compared to creation events in other parts of the Bible. The verse implies that angels existed before certain creation acts, which might not align clearly with other descriptions of creation order in scripture.
