Contradiction with James 2:24
This verse states that a person is justified by works and not by faith only, whereas Psalms 106:31 mentions the reckoning of righteousness through an individual's deed, implying justification through a specific act rather than continuous works.
James 2:24: Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Paradox #1
Psalms 106:31 mentions that an action was counted as righteousness for someone. This might seem to contradict the general biblical idea that righteousness is through faith and not solely through specific actions. Inconsistencies might arise when comparing this with other parts of the Bible that emphasize faith over deeds for righteousness, like in the New Testament.
Paradox #2
The potential contradiction in this verse could be the idea of rewarding actions that are based on violence or drastic measures. Some might see a conflict between the approval of such actions and the broader biblical teachings of peace, mercy, and forgiveness. This can create tension with the principle that moral righteousness should align with compassion and non-violence.
