Contradiction with Job 21:7
Job questions why the wicked live, become old, and mighty in power, seemingly contradicting the notion that God rebukes those He loves.
Job 21:7: Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?
Contradiction with Psalm 73:3-4
The psalmist observes the prosperity of the wicked, contradicting the view that discipline from God is a sign of His love.
Psalm 73:3-4: For I was envious at the foolish, [when] I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 8:14
The author notes the existence of righteous people who suffer despite their righteousness, contradicting the idea of divine discipline being a sign of love.
Ecclesiastes 8:14: There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just [men], unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked [men], to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also [is] vanity.
Contradiction with Habakkuk 1:13
Habakkuk questions why God tolerates the treacherous and remains silent when the wicked swallows up the man more righteous than he, contradicting God's disciplinary love.
Habakkuk 1:13: [Thou art] of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, [and] holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth [the man that is] more righteous than he? [iniquity: or, grievance]
Paradox #1
The contradiction or inconsistency might arise from the idea of punishing or causing pain as an expression of love, which some could see as conflicting with the notion of unconditional love or kindness. It might be confusing how discipline, which can be harsh or hurtful, is an act of love.
