Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 2:16

Explains that believers can have the mind of Christ, suggesting they can understand God's thoughts, as opposed to God being "unsearchable" in knowledge.

1 Corinthians 2:16: For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. [may: Gr. shall]

Contradiction with James 1:5

States that God gives wisdom liberally to all who ask, implying access to divine knowledge, contrasting with God's "unsearchable" understanding.

James 1:5: If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

Paradox #1

The contradiction or inconsistency might arise from the concept of an infinite understanding or knowledge attributed to a divine being. In science, knowledge is based on evidence, observation, and experimentation, which are finite processes. The idea of infinite understanding conflicts with the scientific method, which relies on empirical and measurable evidence that cannot be infinite.
