Contradiction with Job 14:1
This verse states that man's life is full of trouble, contradicting the idea of safety in Psalms 91:7.
Job 14:1: Man [that is] born of a woman [is] of few days, and full of trouble. [few...: Heb. short of days]
Contradiction with John 16:33
Jesus mentions that in the world we will have tribulation, which contrasts with Psalms 91:7's promise of deliverance from harm.
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 2 Timothy 3:12
This verse says that all who live godly in Christ shall suffer persecution, opposing the assurance of safety in Psalms 91:7.
2 Timothy 3:12: Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
Contradiction with Matthew 5:45
This verse notes that the sun rises and rain falls on both the just and the unjust, contrasting with the selective protection highlighted in Psalms 91:7.
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 Ecclesiastes 9:2
States that the same fate comes to the righteous and the wicked, which conflicts with the promise of protection in Psalms 91:7.
Ecclesiastes 9:2: All [things come] alike to all: [there is] one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as [is] the good, so [is] the sinner; [and] he that sweareth, as [he] that feareth an oath.
Paradox #1
Psalms 91:7 might seem to imply that believers will not experience harm, which can be seen as inconsistent with the reality that faithful people do encounter difficulties and suffering. This could conflict with other biblical teachings that recognize the presence of suffering in the lives of righteous individuals.
Paradox #2
Psalms 91:7 talks about protection from danger, suggesting that harm won't come to those who trust in God. Some might see a contradiction with real-life experiences where bad things still happen to faithful people. This could lead to questions about why suffering occurs despite faith.
Paradox #3
Psalms 91:7 suggests protection and safety for believers in the midst of danger. A potential contradiction or inconsistency could be that, historically, many believers have faced harm, suffering, or death despite their faith. This might conflict with the idea that faith guarantees physical safety in all situations. This disparity between expectation and reality can create tension for some readers.
Paradox #4
This verse suggests that a person can be protected from harm while others around them are affected. Scientifically, outcomes like disease or disasters don't selectively target or spare individuals based on supernatural protection. Instead, these events follow natural laws and patterns. This concept conflicts with scientific understanding of chance, probability, and physical causality.
Paradox #5
Some people might see a contradiction in the idea that one person could be protected from harm while many others around them suffer. It could raise questions about fairness and why some are spared and others are not. This might seem inconsistent with the idea of equal love and protection for all.
