Contradiction with Genesis 8:22

Contradiction with Matthew 5:45
This verse speaks of God making the sun rise on the evil and the good, and sending rain on the just and unjust, suggesting impartial divine kindness, conflicting with the selective punishment in Psalms 105:32.
Matthew 5:45: That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Paradox #1
Psalms 105:32 mentions turning rain into hail. The contradiction here is that rain and hail are different forms of precipitation. Rain forms at warmer temperatures, while hail forms when updrafts in thunderstorms carry raindrops upward into extremely cold areas of the atmosphere, causing them to freeze. Thus, rain doesn't just turn into hail; specific weather conditions are needed to form hail.
Paradox #2
The contradiction or conflict in Psalms 105:32 might be seen in how it portrays natural events as consequences of divine will, which can conflict with understanding suffering or natural disasters. Some might question why these events are described as acts of God and what that means for people who experience hardship due to them. This can lead to debates about the nature of God's justice and benevolence.
