Contradiction with Genesis 6:9
Describes Noah as a just man and perfect in his generations, contradicting the notion that there is none that does good.
Genesis 6:9: These [are] the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man [and] perfect in his generations, [and] Noah walked with God. [perfect: or, upright]
Contradiction with Job 1:1
States that Job was perfect and upright, contradicting the idea that no one is righteous.
Job 1:1: There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name [was] Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.
Contradiction with Luke 1:6
Refers to Zacharias and Elisabeth as righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances blameless, conflicting with the claim that there is no one who does good.
Luke 1:6: And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
Contradiction with Proverbs 20:7
The verse describes the just man walking in integrity, suggesting the existence of good and upright people which contradicts Psalms 53:3.
Proverbs 20:7: The just [man] walketh in his integrity: his children [are] blessed after him.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or inconsistency around Psalms 53:3 could relate to the portrayal of human nature. This verse describes humans as inherently corrupt and sinful. Some people might see this as conflicting with other biblical passages that suggest humans can be righteous or good. Moreover, it may contradict the belief in different religious or philosophical traditions that consider humans as inherently good or capable of improvement without divine intervention.
Paradox #2
This verse suggests that everyone has turned away from righteousness and become corrupt, which can conflict with the idea that people can be fundamentally good or have the capacity for goodness. It raises a moral inconsistency about human nature and the potential for redemption or goodness within people.
