Matthew 5:9: Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Romans 12:18: If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

Contradiction with Proverbs 12:20

Contrasting the call for battle in Psalms 144:6, Proverbs 12:20 asserts that those who plan peace experience joy, opposing the turmoil of war.

Contradiction with James 3:18

Psalms 144:6 describes a divine intervention in battle, while James 3:18 promotes the fruit of righteousness sown in peace instead of conflict.

James 3:18: And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

Paradox #1

The verse talks about lightning as a weapon or force controlled directly in a specific way, which conflicts with the scientific understanding that lightning is a natural electrical discharge caused by imbalances between storm clouds and the ground. Science sees it as a natural phenomenon not guided with intentional purpose.

Paradox #2

Psalms 144:6 talks about using divine power to defeat enemies. The moral conflict here could be the idea of using violence or force, which seems to go against other teachings in the Bible about love, peace, and forgiveness. This can create a tension between seeking peace and resorting to aggressive actions.
