Contradiction with Proverbs 28:13
Proverbs 28:13 emphasizes the need for confession and forsaking of sins to receive mercy, which contrasts with Psalms 50:22's warning of being forgotten by God if one doesn't consider their ways.
Proverbs 28:13: He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh [them] shall have mercy.
Contradiction with 1 John 1:9
1 John 1:9 highlights that confession leads to forgiveness and cleansing, in contrast with Psalms 50:22, which warns of destruction without the possibility of deliverance if God is forgotten.
1 John 1:9: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Contradiction with Isaiah 55:7
Isaiah 55:7 encourages the wicked to turn to God for mercy and pardon, whereas Psalms 50:22 warns of dire consequences for forgetting God, without mention of mercy upon repentance.
Isaiah 55:7: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. [the unrighteous...: Heb. the man of iniquity] [abundantly...: Heb. multiply to pardon]
Paradox #1
Psalms 50:22 talks about the consequences of forgetting God and not living according to His teachings. A possible contradiction could be the tension between divine forgiveness and punishment. On one hand, the Bible teaches about the importance of mercy and forgiveness, yet this verse emphasizes retribution for not following God's ways. This might seem inconsistent with the idea of a loving and forgiving God.
