Contradiction with Proverbs 3:33
While Psalms 99:3 speaks to the greatness and holiness of God, asserting His worthiness of reverence, Proverbs 3:33 mentions that the Lord's curse is in the house of the wicked, which contrasts in tone and suggests a more punitive aspect of God's nature.
Proverbs 3:33: The curse of the LORD [is] in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
Contradiction with Isaiah 45:7
Psalms 99:3 emphasizes God's holiness and majesty in a purely positive light, whereas Isaiah 45:7 declares that God creates both peace and evil, introducing the concept of God being responsible for both benevolent and malevolent forces, which contradicts the purely holy depiction.
Isaiah 45:7: I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these [things].
Contradiction with John 3:16
This well-known verse highlights God's love and sacrifice for humanity, focusing on His grace and salvation through Jesus Christ, which might seem to contrast with the emphasis on holiness and reverence in Psalms 99:3, presenting a more relational aspect of God.
John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Contradiction with 1 John 4:8
Here, the verse states that "God is love," which may appear to contrast with the exclusive focus on God's holiness and majesty in Psalms 99:3, emphasizing an all-encompassing love over reverence and fear.
1 John 4:8: He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
