Contradiction with John 3:16
Describes God giving His only Son, implying a unique status rather than being "begotten" on a specific day.
John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Contradiction with Hebrews 13:8
States that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever, contrasting the idea of being begotten at a particular point in time.
Hebrews 13:8: Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
Contradiction with Hebrews 1:5
Raises the rhetorical question of God ever calling any angel His Son, which adds complexity to the understanding of "this day have I begotten thee."
Hebrews 1:5: For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
Contradiction with John 1:1-2
Speaks of the Word existing from the beginning with God, which complicates the interpretation of being begotten at a specific time.
John 1:1-2: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Contradiction with Colossians 1:16-17
Notes that all things were created through and for Christ, indicating His eternal role rather than a specific moment of being begotten.
Colossians 1:16-17: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Contradiction with Revelation 1:8
Declares Jesus as the Alpha and Omega, suggesting eternal existence, contrasting the concept of being begotten at a specific time.
Revelation 1:8: I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
Paradox #1
Psalm 2:7, which mentions God's decree and His declaration of a relationship, can potentially lead to theological questions when considering how this relationship is understood with other biblical teachings. One possible contradiction is with the concept of monotheism if not understood contextually, as it might seem to imply multiple divine beings rather than one God. Another consideration is the understanding of divine sonship and how it relates to the New Testament teachings about Jesus, potentially raising questions about the nature and identity of Jesus in relation to God.
Paradox #2
Psalms 2:7 might seem to conflict with the idea that God is unchanging. The verse talks about declaring a decree from God, which some might see as God making decisions or changes. However, this can be understood as revealing an eternal truth rather than a change in God's nature.
Paradox #3
Psalms 2:7 is seen by some as problematic because it mentions "You are my Son; today I have become your Father," which can be interpreted as implying a specific point in time when the relationship began. This could conflict with the Christian doctrine of the eternal existence of Jesus as the Son of God. Additionally, there's a potential inconsistency with other scriptures that suggest God's parental relationship as constant or everlasting.
