Contradiction with Isaiah 43:25
This verse emphasizes that God will blot out transgressions and not remember sins, seemingly contradicting the prayer in Psalms 25:7 to not remember sins.
Isaiah 43:25: I, [even] I, [am] he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
Contradiction with Hebrews 8:12
States that God will be merciful and will not remember iniquities, whereas Psalms 25:7 pleads for God to forget past sins.
Hebrews 8:12: For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 31:34
Declares that God will forgive iniquity and remember sin no more, contrasting with Psalms 25:7's request for divine forgetfulness of sins.
Jeremiah 31:34: And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Contradiction with Micah 7:19
Indicates that God will cast all sins into the depths of the sea, implying a definitive forgetting, unlike the plea in Psalms 25:7.
Micah 7:19: He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
Paradox #1
Psalms 25:7 speaks about asking God to forget past sins due to His mercy and kindness. A contradiction could be the idea of receiving forgiveness based on mercy instead of personal accountability or justice. Some might see a conflict between divine forgiveness and human responsibility for actions. However, interpretation varies, and for many, it emphasizes God's compassion.
