Contradiction with Psalms 34:10
This verse states that young lions do lack and suffer hunger, conflicting with Psalms 136:25, which suggests that God provides food for all creatures.
Psalms 34:10: The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good [thing].
Contradiction with Psalm 37:25
Affirms that the righteous are never forsaken or begging for bread, potentially conflicting with the universality of God's provision implied in Psalms 136:25.
Psalm 37:25: I have been young, and [now] am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
Contradiction with Matthew 6:26
Suggests God feeds the birds, yet humans are differentiated by worth, introducing a hierarchy that may contradict the all-encompassing aspect of provision in Psalms 136:25.
Matthew 6:26: Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
Contradiction with 2 Thessalonians 3:10
States that if one does not work, they should not eat, implying that provision is conditional, which contrasts with the unconditional provision described in Psalms 136:25.
2 Thessalonians 3:10: For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
Paradox #1
Psalms 136:25 says that God provides food for all living things. The contradiction or inconsistency might be observed in the actual occurrences of famine and hunger throughout history. If God provides food for all, some might wonder why such suffering and lack of food exist in the world. This can lead to questions about reconciling the verse with real-life hardships.
