Contradiction with Revelation 5:5
Describes Christ's victory as overcoming through sacrifice rather than displays of might like thunder.

Paradox #1
Psalms 18:13 mentions God producing thunder, which could be seen as inconsistent with the scientific explanation of thunder as a result of lightning during storms. Science attributes thunder to natural atmospheric processes, not direct divine action.
Paradox #2
Psalms 18:13 mentions God using thunder as a means of communication or expression of power. A possible contradiction might arise if one considers the portrayal of God as loving and gentle, conflicting with the depiction of Him using loud, potentially frightening natural phenomena. Some might see this as inconsistent with the idea of a benevolent deity.
