Contradiction with James 1:17
This verse speaks of God as the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, contrasting with the breaking of a covenant as stated in Psalms 89:39.
James 1:17: Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
Paradox #1
Psalms 89:39 might be seen as a contradiction because it refers to God breaking a covenant, which can seem inconsistent with other biblical passages that emphasize God's faithfulness and unchanging nature. People might find it puzzling how the God described as always keeping promises could allow a covenant to be broken.
Paradox #2
Psalms 89:39 talks about breaking a covenant which could seem contradictory to the idea that God's promises and covenants are unbreakable and everlasting. This could lead to confusion about the nature of God's faithfulness and the permanence of His promises.
Paradox #3
The verse describes a situation where a covenant or promise feels broken, which could conflict with other parts of religious texts that emphasize the unbreakable and everlasting nature of God's promises. This could be seen as inconsistent with the belief in the eternal and unwavering commitment of God depicted elsewhere in the Bible.
Paradox #4
Psalms 89:39 expresses a sense of divine promise being broken, which might conflict with the belief that God's promises are always kept. This could seem inconsistent with the idea of God as unfailingly faithful.
