Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 14:33
This verse states that God is not the author of confusion but of peace, which contradicts with Joshua 6:5 where an unconventional strategy is used to bring down the walls of Jericho through loud sounds, which could be perceived as chaotic.
1 Corinthians 14:33: For God is not [the author] of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. [confusion: Gr. tumult, or, unquietness]
Contradiction with Proverbs 3:5-6
These verses emphasize trusting in the Lord and not relying on one's own understanding, which could seemingly contradict the seemingly irrational plan of marching and shouting to achieve victory in Joshua 6:5.
Proverbs 3:5-6: Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Paradox #1
The potential contradiction in Joshua 6:5 could relate to the idea of using divine intervention to cause destruction. Some might see a conflict between the concept of a loving and peaceful deity and the destruction of a city and its inhabitants. This can challenge the view of consistent moral teachings about love and mercy.
