Contradiction with Genesis 6:6
This verse depicts God repenting for creating man, suggesting a change of mind which contrasts with the idea of God doing whatever He pleases without regret.
Genesis 6:6: And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
Contradiction with 1 Samuel 15:29
This verse states God does not repent or change His mind, portraying Him as immutable, contradicting the notion in Psalms 135:6 of God acting freely in any way.
1 Samuel 15:29: And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he [is] not a man, that he should repent. [Strength: or, Eternity, or, Victory]
Contradiction with Jonah 3:10
This verse shows God changing His plan to destroy Nineveh, indicating flexibility in His decisions, contrasting with the notion of God doing whatever He pleases without reconsideration.
Jonah 3:10: And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did [it] not.
Contradiction with James 1:13
This verse says God cannot be tempted nor does He tempt, implying constraints on His actions, which contrasts with the idea of God doing anything He pleases.
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]
Paradox #1
The idea in the verse expresses that God does as He pleases everywhere, which might seem to contradict human free will or the presence of suffering and evil. Some might wonder how God’s will aligns with people having freedom to choose or why bad things happen if God controls everything.
Paradox #2
The verse suggests that a divine power can do anything and everything in the universe. This can conflict with scientific principles which rely on natural laws and predictable outcomes, as opposed to actions that are unbounded by these laws. Science typically requires observable and testable evidence, which may not align with the unlimited capability implied by the verse.
