Contradiction with Job 5:7
This verse suggests that man is born for trouble, which contradicts the promise of protection from trouble in Psalms 91:10.
Job 5:7: Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward. [trouble: or, labour] [sparks...: Heb. the sons of the burning coal lift up to fly]
Contradiction with 2 Timothy 3:12
This verse states that all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution, contrasting the idea of no evil befalling believers in Psalms 91:10.
2 Timothy 3:12: Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
Contradiction with John 16:33
This verse acknowledges that believers will have tribulations in the world, contradicting the assurance of safety from evil in Psalms 91:10.
John 16:33: These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Contradiction with Matthew 5:45
This verse indicates that God causes the sun to rise and rain to fall on both the just and unjust, contradicting the idea of exclusive protection from evil in Psalms 91:10.
Matthew 5:45: That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Contradiction with 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
These verses discuss Paul’s acceptance of weaknesses, insults, hardships, and persecutions, which may contradict the idea of protection from such troubles in Psalms 91:10.
2 Corinthians 12:9-10: And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Paradox #1
Psalms 91:10 might seem to contradict personal experiences or theological teachings about suffering. While the verse promises protection from harm for those who trust in God, believers still experience hardships and disasters. This contradiction can challenge the understanding of divine protection in the context of real-world suffering and adversity.
Paradox #2
Some people might see a contradiction between the promise of protection in Psalms 91:10 and the existence of suffering and evil in the world. While the verse suggests that harm will not come to those who trust in God, others may question why bad things still happen to good or faithful people. This tension could be seen as a conflict between belief in divine protection and the reality of human experience.
Paradox #3
One potential contradiction or inconsistency could be that Psalms 91:10 promises protection from harm or disaster. However, in reality, many faithful people encounter hardships and sufferings, which seems to conflict with the promise of complete safety. This inconsistency raises questions about the literal interpretation of the verse in the context of real-life experiences.
Paradox #4
Psalms 91:10 suggests that no harm or disaster will come to someone who trusts in divine protection. A potential contradiction here is the expectation that faith alone guarantees safety from harm. Science typically understands safety and health as outcomes influenced by natural causes, probabilities, and preventive actions, not solely by faith or spiritual belief. Reality shows that people of all faiths and beliefs can experience difficulties, illnesses, and accidents, suggesting a conflict with a literal interpretation of this promise.
Paradox #5
This verse suggests protection and safety from harm for those who have faith. The moral conflict could be that believers who experience harm or suffering might feel confused or hurt, questioning the promise of protection and why bad things happen despite their faith.
