Contradiction with Exodus 15:6
This verse credits the Lord's right hand with being glorious in power and shattering enemies, while Psalms 136:12 attributes enduring love for the same action of freeing the Israelites.
Exodus 15:6: Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
Contradiction with 1 Samuel 17:47
This verse emphasizes that the battle belongs to the Lord and victory doesn’t depend on human effort, whereas Psalms 136:12 highlights God's mighty hand getting involved directly.
1 Samuel 17:47: And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle [is] the LORD'S, and he will give you into our hands.
Paradox #1
The potential contradiction with Psalms 136:12 could relate to the differing accounts of events in Exodus during the Israelites' journey out of Egypt, especially regarding the details of how this transpires with God's interventions. Different parts of the Bible might emphasize various aspects of these miracles, such as the role of God's hand or the actions taken by Moses, leading to questions about consistency in the narrative.
Paradox #2
This verse talks about God using a powerful arm to help or rescue. The potential contradiction or conflict could arise from the idea of using force or power to achieve good outcomes. Some people might see a conflict between the use of force and values like peace or gentleness, questioning whether using power or might aligns with moral or ethical teachings that prioritize nonviolence and kindness.
