Contradiction with Exodus 9:12
This verse states that God hardened Pharaoh's heart, which seems contradictory to the idea of God preserving strangers and upholding the fatherless and widow.
Exodus 9:12: And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken unto Moses.
Contradiction with Isaiah 45:7
This verse claims that God creates evil, which contrasts with the notion of God lifting up and protecting the oppressed.
Isaiah 45:7: I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these [things].
Contradiction with Lamentations 3:38
It suggests that both good and evil come from God, conflicting with the protective and supportive role described in Psalms 146:9.
Lamentations 3:38: Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good?
Contradiction with Jeremiah 13:14
This verse describes God destroying and showing no pity, which contradicts the caring role depicted in Psalms 146:9.
Jeremiah 13:14: And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the LORD: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them. [one...: Heb. a man against his brother] [but...: Heb. from destroying them]
Contradiction with 1 Samuel 15:3
God commands the destruction of Amalek, including the innocent, which contradicts the idea of God upholding justice for the vulnerable.
1 Samuel 15:3: Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
Paradox #1
The verse suggests divine intervention and protection, which may conflict with a scientific understanding of the world where events are explained through natural laws and processes rather than supernatural influence. This difference in viewpoints can create tension between religious and scientific perspectives on how the world operates.
Paradox #2
This verse is about protection and care for the vulnerable. A contradiction might arise if one believes in these values but observes actions or teachings within the same religious framework that do not protect or care for the vulnerable, creating a conflict between belief and practice.
