Contradiction with Genesis 1:16
Judges 5:20 suggests celestial beings fought in a battle, but Genesis 1:16 describes the creation of celestial objects for signs and seasons, not warfare.
Genesis 1:16: And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: [he made] the stars also. [to rule the day...: Heb. for the rule of the day, etc.]
Contradiction with Psalm 19:1
While Judges 5:20 implies heavenly bodies actively participate in earthly affairs, Psalm 19:1 portrays the heavens as passive entities declaring God's glory.
Psalm 19:1: [To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.] The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
Contradiction with Isaiah 45:12
Judges 5:20 depicts stars engaging in human battles, whereas Isaiah 45:12 emphasizes their creation by God without implying active involvement in earthly events.
Isaiah 45:12: I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, [even] my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 33:25
This verse asserts the fixed order of the heavens, contradicting Judges 5:20's notion of stars actively affecting human battles.
Jeremiah 33:25: Thus saith the LORD; If my covenant [be] not with day and night, [and if] I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;
Paradox #1
Some people might see a contradiction between Judges 5:20, which speaks of stars fighting, and the idea that celestial bodies have no personal agency or ability to engage in battles. Additionally, there might be a conflict with interpretations of other parts of the Bible that depict stars simply as creations of God meant to serve certain natural purposes, like providing light. However, this verse is often seen as poetic or metaphorical, so interpretations can vary.
Paradox #2
The contradiction in the context you are asking may arise from the interpretation that stars fought from their paths, which could conflict with astronomical understanding. In science, stars are distant celestial bodies that do not alter their movements to influence earthly events. This description is more symbolic or poetic rather than a literal scientific account.
