Contradiction with John 11:25
Jesus speaks of being the resurrection and the life, indicating life after death, in contrast to the despair in Psalms 88:10 about the dead not rising.
John 11:25: Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
Contradiction with John 5:28-29
These verses mention a future resurrection where all in the graves will hear His voice and rise, contradicting the hopelessness of Psalms 88:10 regarding the dead rising.
John 5:28-29: Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 15:52
This verse mentions the dead being raised incorruptible, which contradicts the implication in Psalms 88:10 of no resurrection.
1 Corinthians 15:52: In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
Contradiction with Isaiah 26:19
Claims that the dead shall live and rise, in contrast to the despair expressed in Psalms 88:10.
Isaiah 26:19: Thy dead [men] shall live, [together with] my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew [is as] the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
Contradiction with Daniel 12:2
Speaks of many that sleep in the dust of the earth awakening, contrary to the sentiment in Psalms 88:10.
Daniel 12:2: And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame [and] everlasting contempt.
Paradox #1
Psalms 88:10 talks about God's wonders being known in the place of the dead. Some might see a conflict because other parts of the Bible suggest that there is no knowledge, memory, or praise of God in death, like in Ecclesiastes 9:5 or Psalms 6:5. This could appear inconsistent in terms of what happens after death regarding awareness or acknowledgment of God.
Paradox #2
Psalms 88:10 talks about a question of whether God performs wonders for the dead. Some might see a contradiction or conflict with other parts of the Bible that speak of resurrection and God's power over life and death, like the stories of Jesus raising Lazarus or the general belief in resurrection. This could seem inconsistent because Psalms 88 suggests a sense of hopelessness about life after death, while other scriptures offer hope and affirm life after death.
Paradox #3
Psalms 88:10 implies the possibility of the dead rising to praise, which contradicts the scientific understanding that once biological death occurs, the brain ceases to function, making any form of consciousness or ability to act, like praising, scientifically impossible.
Paradox #4
Psalms 88:10 could be seen as expressing a contradiction or conflict because it questions God's ability or willingness to work wonders for the dead. This can be seen as inconsistent with the belief in resurrection and life after death, where God is expected to bring new life to those who have died. This questioning can create a moral tension for those who believe in both divine power and the reality of an afterlife.
