Contradiction with Proverbs 1:7
This verse states that fools despise wisdom and instruction, suggesting that not all people are open to being taught, which contrasts with the idea that God teaches all nations as stated in Psalms 94:10.
Proverbs 1:7: The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of knowledge: [but] fools despise wisdom and instruction. [the beginning: or, the principal part]
Contradiction with Proverbs 26:4
Advises not to answer a fool according to his folly, implying that some may not benefit from instruction, contradicting Psalms 94:10's implication of universal teaching.
Proverbs 26:4: Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
Contradiction with Matthew 13:13
Indicates that some people will see but not perceive, and hear but not understand, which contradicts the notion in Psalms 94:10 that God teaches all people effectively.
Matthew 13:13: Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
Contradiction with Proverbs 22:6
Emphasizes that proper training is essential for a child's development, while Psalms 94:10 presumes God's universal and effective teaching role without specifying conditions.
Proverbs 22:6: Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. [Train...: or, Catechise] [in...: Heb. in his way]
Contradiction with Isaiah 6:9-10
Suggests that God sometimes prevents understanding as a form of judgment, contradicting the idea of universal instruction in Psalms 94:10.
Isaiah 6:9-10: And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. [indeed, but understand: or, without ceasing, etc: Heb. in hearing, etc]
Paradox #1
The potential contradiction in Psalms 94:10 could be the idea of God punishing or disciplining people to teach them, which might seem inconsistent with the idea of a loving and forgiving deity. Some might question how punishment aligns with the concept of unconditional love.
