Contradiction with Matthew 28:20
This verse implies that God is with believers always, whereas Psalms 46:5 suggests God is only in the midst of believers during certain situations.
Matthew 28:20: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.
Contradiction with Isaiah 59:2
This verse states that iniquities separate people from God, potentially contradicting the assurance of God's presence as in Psalms 46:5.
Isaiah 59:2: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid [his] face from you, that he will not hear. [have hid: or, have made him hide]
Contradiction with 1 Samuel 4:21
This verse describes the departure of God's glory due to Israel's sins, which contrasts with Psalms 46:5’s faith in God's unwavering presence.
1 Samuel 4:21: And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her husband. [Ichabod: that is, Where is the glory? or, There is no glory]
Contradiction with Lamentations 1:16
Here, there's a sense of God's absence due to affliction and sin, contradicting the assurance of God’s constant presence in Psalms 46:5.
Lamentations 1:16: For these [things] I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water, because the comforter that should relieve my soul is far from me: my children are desolate, because the enemy prevailed. [relieve: Heb. bring back]
