Contradiction with Proverbs 11:24
This verse mentions that withholding more than is meet leads to poverty, implying a limitation on generosity, in contrast with the boundless giving in Psalms 112:9.
Proverbs 11:24: There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and [there is] that withholdeth more than is meet, but [it tendeth] to poverty.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 5:13
This verse warns about the evil of hoarding riches, which contrasts with the idea of dispersing and giving freely as praised in Psalms 112:9.
Ecclesiastes 5:13: There is a sore evil [which] I have seen under the sun, [namely], riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.
Contradiction with 1 Timothy 6:10
This verse indicates that the love of money is the root of all evil, potentially contradicting the act of giving wealth as highlighted in Psalms 112:9, implying a different perspective on wealth management.
1 Timothy 6:10: For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. [erred: or, been seduced]
Contradiction with Proverbs 21:20
This verse suggests the importance of wise saving and stewardship, which may conflict with the open giving described in Psalms 112:9.
Proverbs 21:20: [There is] treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up.
Contradiction with Luke 12:33
Encourages selling possessions and giving to the poor, emphasizing a self-sacrificial act that may challenge the concept of retaining righteousness through wealth as implied in Psalms 112:9.
Luke 12:33: Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
Paradox #1
Psalms 112:9 talks about giving to the poor and righteousness. A potential moral conflict might arise if one interprets other parts of the Bible as focusing more on spiritual faith over tangible acts of charity, leading to confusion about the importance of generosity versus faith alone.
