Contradiction with Isaiah 52:3
This verse states "For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money." This contradicts Psalms 44:12 because it suggests a situation of redemption without financial exchange, opposing the idea of selling people for a low value as portrayed in Psalms 44:12.
Isaiah 52:3: For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 6:20
This verse says "For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's." This is contradictory to Psalms 44:12 as it emphasizes the high value and price of believers, contrasting with the undervaluation and selling mentioned in Psalms 44:12.
1 Corinthians 6:20: For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
Contradiction with Revelation 5:9
This verse talks about a significant and purposeful purchase, "And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation." It opposes Psalms 44:12's notion of selling without value by indicating a precious purchase through sacrifice.
Revelation 5:9: And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
Paradox #1
Psalms 44:12 suggests that people were sold without profit, which can be seen as conflicting with the value of human life and dignity. Selling people without gain might imply a lack of care or value for individuals, which contradicts the general belief that every person is precious and valued by God.
