Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 7:20
While Psalms 106:6 admits to sin, Ecclesiastes 7:20 states that there is no just man who does good and does not sin, implying that sin is universal and unavoidable, not just a confession of wrongdoing.
Ecclesiastes 7:20: For [there is] not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.
Contradiction with Romans 3:23
Psalms 106:6 confesses specific sins of the people, whereas Romans 3:23 declares that all have sinned without exception, broadening the scope from a specific group to all of humanity.
Romans 3:23: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Contradiction with 1 John 1:8
Psalms 106:6 acknowledges wrongdoing, but 1 John 1:8 emphasizes self-deception if one claims to be without sin, suggesting admitting sin is essential yet contradicting the notion of finite specific confessions.
1 John 1:8: If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Contradiction with 1 Kings 8:46
This highlights that there is no person who does not sin, suggesting Psalms 106:6’s admission is part of a broader, inevitable human flaw, rather than isolated actions.
1 Kings 8:46: If they sin against thee, (for [there is] no man that sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near;
Paradox #1
The contradiction or inconsistency in this verse could relate to different interpretations or accounts of the actions of the ancestors mentioned. Various texts or historical sources outside the Bible might offer conflicting stories about these events, leading to confusion or debate about their accuracy.
Paradox #2
Psalms 106:6 talks about acknowledging sin and wrongdoing, connecting personal sins to the sins of ancestors. A contradiction might arise if one believes people should only be held accountable for their own actions, not for the actions of their ancestors. This could create a conflict between ideas of individual responsibility and collective guilt.
