Contradiction with Matthew 7:1
This verse advises to "Judge not, that ye be not judged," which contrasts with Psalms 98:9 where God is described as coming to judge the earth.
Matthew 7:1: Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Contradiction with James 4:12
This verse states, "There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?" emphasizing God as the sole judge and questioning human judgement, contrary to the certainty of divine judgment in Psalms 98:9.
James 4:12: There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
Contradiction with John 12:47
This verse records Jesus saying, "I came not to judge the world, but to save the world," suggesting a mission of salvation rather than judgment, contrasting with the depiction of God coming to judge in Psalms 98:9.
John 12:47: And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 4:5
This verse advises to "judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come," implying patience in judgment which contrasts with the immediate sense of divine judgment in Psalms 98:9.
1 Corinthians 4:5: Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
Paradox #1
The potential scientific conflict with the idea of a divine being judging the Earth could be that it involves supernatural elements, which are beyond the scope of scientific inquiry and evidence. Science relies on observable and measurable phenomena, whereas divine judgment is based on faith and spiritual beliefs. Therefore, this concept does not align with the empirical methods of science.
Paradox #2
The potential contradiction or conflict could be that the verse talks about God judging the world with fairness and equity, which might seem inconsistent with some other parts of religious texts where judgments appear to be harsh or severe. This could be seen as a conflict between the idea of a merciful, fair judgment and the reality of punitive judgment experienced in other stories or rules.
