Contradiction with Genesis 1:27
Contradicts Psalms 90:3 by emphasizing creation of humans in the image of God, not returning them to dust.
Genesis 1:27: So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 12:7
Expands on Psalms 90:3 by highlighting the return of the spirit to God, rather than focusing solely on the physical return to dust.
Ecclesiastes 12:7: Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 15:52
Contradicts the finality implied in Psalms 90:3 by promising transformation and resurrection, rather than a return to dust.
1 Corinthians 15:52: In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
Paradox #1
Psalms 90:3 talks about returning to dust, which reflects human mortality. Some may see a conflict with ideas of immortality or eternal life in other parts of the Bible. It might seem inconsistent to discuss both mortality and eternal life, but these concepts address different aspects of human existence and spiritual belief.
Paradox #2
Psalms 90:3 can present a contradiction or conflict in the sense that it highlights the inevitability of death and human mortality. This might create a tension with the belief in a loving and caring deity who desires human flourishing. People might question why a benevolent being would plan for human lives to return to dust, potentially leading to concerns about the nature of divine justice or purpose. This contrast between human mortality and divine benevolence could be seen as a source of moral conflict or inconsistency.
