Contradiction with Job 10:9
This verse speaks of being made like clay, emphasizing fragility, contrasting with the delicate and intricate formation mentioned in Psalms 139:13.
Job 10:9: Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 11:5
This verse suggests that the making of a child in the womb is a mystery and unknowable, contradicting the personal and intimate knowledge of formation in Psalms 139:13.
Ecclesiastes 11:5: As thou knowest not what [is] the way of the spirit, [nor] how the bones [do grow] in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.
Contradiction with Isaiah 45:9
This verse questions the creation process, suggesting contention with the maker, which contrasts with the acceptance of divine creation detailed in Psalms 139:13.
Isaiah 45:9: Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! [Let] the potsherd [strive] with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?
Contradiction with Jeremiah 1:5
While this verse speaks of pre-birth knowledge and plans, it implies predestination, which can contradict the personal act of creation in the womb as in Psalms 139:13.
Jeremiah 1:5: Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, [and] I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. [ordained: Heb. gave]
Contradiction with Isaiah 29:16
This implies a hidden and contrary creation process by the maker, contrasting with the clear and intentional forming process in Psalms 139:13.
Isaiah 29:16: Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
Paradox #1
Psalms 139:13 talks about being made by God, which some people see as conflicting with beliefs in certain scientific theories of human development and evolution, or with views about personal autonomy and self-creation. This could lead to debates about creationism versus evolution or the role of divine influence in personal identity.
