Contradiction with Exodus 34:7
This verse describes how God forgives iniquity, transgression, and sin, which contradicts the idea of evil slaying the wicked without forgiveness.
Exodus 34:7: Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear [the guilty]; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth [generation].
Contradiction with Ezekiel 18:23
This verse states that God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked, instead desiring their repentance, which contrasts with the notion of evil executing the wicked.
Ezekiel 18:23: Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: [and] not that he should return from his ways, and live?
Contradiction with Matthew 5:44
Jesus teaches to love enemies and pray for those who persecute you, contradicting the concept of evil slaying the wicked.
Matthew 5:44: But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Contradiction with 2 Peter 3:9
This verse highlights God's patience and desire for all to come to repentance, opposing the idea that the wicked are simply slain by evil.
2 Peter 3:9: The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Contradiction with Romans 5:8
Here, it is demonstrated that Christ died for sinners, showing love rather than destruction of the wicked, which conflicts with the idea of evil automatically slaying them.
Romans 5:8: But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Paradox #1
Psalms 34:21 mentions the destruction of the wicked. A contradiction could arise if one considers whether it aligns with teachings of forgiveness and mercy found elsewhere in the Bible. While some parts emphasize loving enemies and forgiving, this verse talks about punishment for wrongdoers, which might seem inconsistent with the message of unconditional love and forgiveness.
