Contradiction with Genesis 6:6

This verse expresses God's regret over creating humanity, contrasting with the acceptance and approval in Matthew 11:26.

Genesis 6:6: And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

Contradiction with Ezekiel 18:32

This verse states God has no pleasure in the death of anyone, which can be seen as contradicting the notion of divine will taking pleasure in certain outcomes in Matthew 11:26.

Ezekiel 18:32: For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn [yourselves], and live ye. [yourselves: or, others]

Contradiction with 1 Timothy 2:4

This verse emphasizes God's will for all to be saved, differing from the idea of selective divine contentment in Matthew 11:26.

1 Timothy 2:4: Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

Contradiction with 2 Peter 3:9

This verse highlights God's desire for everyone to repent, contrasting with the selective approval implied in Matthew 11:26.

2 Peter 3:9: The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Contradiction with Jonah 4:2

This verse presents God as gracious and merciful, which might seem at odds with the notion of finding contentment in selective divine revelation in Matthew 11:26.

Jonah 4:2: And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, [was] not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou [art] a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.

Paradox #1

The potential contradiction in this verse might involve the idea of divine will and fairness. Some people could see a conflict between God choosing to reveal things to certain people and not to others, questioning the fairness of such selective revelation. This might seem inconsistent with the belief in a loving and just God who treats all people equally.
