Contradiction with Psalms 86:15
While Psalms 66:3 speaks of God’s great power causing enemies to submit, Psalms 86:15 highlights God’s compassion and grace, emphasizing His nature as merciful rather than fear-inducing.
Psalms 86:15: But thou, O Lord, [art] a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
Contradiction with Jonah 4:2
Jonah 4:2 describes God as gracious, merciful, slow to anger, instead of inspiring fear and submission as in Psalms 66:3.
Jonah 4:2: And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, [was] not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou [art] a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.
Contradiction with 1 John 4:8
This verse declares God as love, which contrasts with the theme of inducing submission through power found in Psalms 66:3.
1 John 4:8: He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
Contradiction with Romans 5:8
Romans 5:8 focuses on God's love and sacrifice for humanity rather than on inducing fear to make enemies submit, as in Psalms 66:3.
Romans 5:8: But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Paradox #1
Psalms 66:3 talks about the power and awe of God, and how his enemies will submit to him. A possible contradiction or conflict might arise when considering the idea of a loving and forgiving God juxtaposed with the image of enemies being forced to submit. People might find it challenging to reconcile the notions of love, forgiveness, and forced submission.
