Contradiction with Proverbs 30:5
This verse states that "Every word of God is pure," which may contradict Psalms 12:7 if interpreted as suggesting not all words from other passages are preserved.
Proverbs 30:5: Every word of God [is] pure: he [is] a shield unto them that put their trust in him. [pure: Heb. purified]
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 3:14
This verse implies that whatever God does endures forever, potentially contradicting Psalms 12:7 by suggesting a broader scope of preservation beyond just words.
Ecclesiastes 3:14: I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth [it], that [men] should fear before him.
Contradiction with Isaiah 40:8
Says the word of God stands forever, which could contradict the specific preservation mentioned in Psalms 12:7 by implying a more general and eternal rather than specific protection.
Isaiah 40:8: The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
Contradiction with Matthew 5:18
Indicates that not one jot or tittle shall pass from the law, which could be seen as conflicting with Psalms 12:7 by suggesting an even stricter preservation of the law.
Matthew 5:18: For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Contradiction with 1 Peter 1:25
States that the word of the Lord endures forever, suggesting an overarching permanence that might go beyond what is described in Psalms 12:7.
1 Peter 1:25: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
Paradox #1
One potential theological inconsistency with this verse could be related to the different interpretations and translations of "them" or "us," which leads to varied understandings of what or whom God is promising to protect. This ambiguity can lead to differing theological conclusions about the scope and nature of God's protection.
