Contradiction with 1 John 4:8
Psalm 75:8 describes God's wrath and judgment, while 1 John 4:8 states "God is love", highlighting His benevolence and mercy, which seems contradictory to a God of wrath.
1 John 4:8: He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
Contradiction with Ezekiel 33:11
Psalm 75:8 speaks of God pouring out wrath upon the wicked, whereas Ezekiel 33:11 expresses God's desire for the wicked to turn from their ways and live, showing a preference for redemption over destruction.
Ezekiel 33:11: Say unto them, [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Contradiction with John 3:17
While Psalm 75:8 depicts God as executing judgment and wrath, John 3:17 indicates that God sent His Son not to condemn the world, but to save it, suggesting a mission of salvation rather than punishment.
John 3:17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Paradox #1
Some people might see a contradiction in the idea of a loving and forgiving God also being one who punishes severely. This verse shows God's judgement and wrath, and it might seem inconsistent with other parts of the Bible that emphasize mercy and forgiveness.
Paradox #2
The contradiction or conflict in this verse may arise from the idea of a just and loving deity who also punishes. Some people might find it inconsistent for a benevolent God to inflict suffering or judgment on certain people. This could create tension between notions of divine justice and mercy.
