Contradiction with Isaiah 42:8
This verse states, "I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images." It emphasizes God's refusal to share His glory, which contradicts the idea in Psalms 136:4 of God doing wondrous things "for his mercy endureth forever" as an implication of God not being exclusive about His glory.
Isaiah 42:8: I [am] the LORD: that [is] my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
Contradiction with John 14:12
This verse says, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." It suggests that believers can perform works as great or greater than those of Jesus, which contradicts Psalms 136:4's implication that God alone does great wonders.
John 14:12: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 3:14
"I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be forever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him." This suggests the permanence and completeness of God's acts, emphasizing their inimitability, which contradicts Psalms 136:4's implication of wonders done repeatedly because "his mercy endureth forever."
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 Jeremiah 32:27
"Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?" This verse emphasizes God's power and ability to perform any feat alone, which contradicts the notion in Psalms 136:4 of His great deeds being linked to mercy enduring forever, suggesting continuous action.
Jeremiah 32:27: Behold, I [am] the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
Paradox #1
The verse mentions God doing great wonders. A potential scientific conflict could be the idea of miracles or supernatural events, which may not be explainable by natural laws or scientific understanding. Science relies on observable and testable phenomena, while miracles are often seen as events that transcend natural explanations. This difference in framework could lead to contradictions when interpreting miraculous events scientifically.
