Contradiction with 1 John 1:5
This verse states "God is light, and in him is no darkness at all," which contradicts Psalms 105:28 where God is seen as the cause of darkness upon Egypt.
1 John 1:5: This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
Contradiction with James 1:13
This verse indicates "God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man," contradicting the notion in Psalms 105:28 where God brings a plague of darkness.
James 1:13: Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: [evil: or, evils]
Contradiction with Isaiah 45:7
This verse states "I form the light, and create darkness" which parallels rather than contradicts Psalms 105:28, highlighting God's control over light and darkness, hence, does not serve as a contradiction.
Isaiah 45:7: I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these [things].
Contradiction with John 8:12
Jesus declares "I am the light of the world," which contrasts with Psalms 105:28's portrayal of God sending darkness.
John 8:12: Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
Contradiction with Job 34:22
"There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves," suggesting a place where God's presence does not involve darkness, contrasting with Psalms 105:28's implication otherwise.
Job 34:22: [There is] no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
Paradox #1
The possible contradiction with this verse is its description of events in Egypt related to the plagues. Some historians and scholars argue that there is limited archeological evidence for the biblical account of the plagues as described in the Bible. Additionally, Egyptian records from that time do not confirm these specific events, leading to debates about the historical accuracy of the account.
Paradox #2
The verse describes a miraculous event, which goes against scientific understandings of how nature operates. Science relies on natural laws and observable, repeatable phenomena, whereas miracles are seen as supernatural interventions that cannot be tested or explained by science. Therefore, there's a conflict between the supernatural claim and scientific explanation.
Paradox #3
The contradiction or conflict in this verse could be seen in the idea of causing harm or suffering. If God is seen as loving and just, the act of bringing about suffering or punishment can seem inconsistent with that perception. People might question how a benevolent deity could allow or directly cause such negative events, potentially leading to a moral conflict between justice and mercy.
