Contradiction with Romans 3:11
This verse states that none seek after God, which is in contrast with Psalm 10:4 implying that only the wicked do not seek after God.
Romans 3:11: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
Contradiction with James 4:8
This verse encourages people to draw near to God, suggesting it is possible, while Psalm 10:4 portrays the wicked as choosing not to seek Him.
James 4:8: Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse [your] hands, [ye] sinners; and purify [your] hearts, [ye] double minded.
Contradiction with John 6:37
This verse suggests that anyone who comes to Jesus will not be cast out, unlike Psalm 10:4, which suggests the wicked willfully do not come to God.
John 6:37: All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
Paradox #1
Psalms 10:4 discusses the mindset of a wicked person who does not seek God or acknowledge Him. A possible theological conflict might arise when comparing this idea with passages that describe God as omnipresent and actively involved in all aspects of life, suggesting that everyone, in some way, acknowledges God. This could lead to questions about human free will and the awareness or denial of God's presence.
Paradox #2
Psalms 10:4 suggests that wicked people do not seek God and think there is no God. This can seem to contradict the idea that everyone is made in the image of God with an inherent ability to connect with or recognize Him, as found in other parts of the Bible. However, it's often understood that this verse highlights a person's choice to reject God, rather than an absolute inability to know Him.
