Contradiction with Matthew 25:29
This verse suggests that those who have more will be given more, contradicting the idea of the manifestation of the Spirit being given to every individual for the common good.
Matthew 25:29: For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
Contradiction with Romans 9:18
This verse states that God has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires, suggesting partiality that contrasts with the equal distribution of spiritual gifts mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12:7.
Romans 9:18: Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will [have mercy], and whom he will he hardeneth.
Contradiction with Matthew 13:12
This verse indicates that whoever has will be given more, suggesting a concentration rather than a distribution of spiritual manifestations.
Matthew 13:12: For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
Contradiction with James 2:1-4
These verses highlight the issue of showing favoritism in the faith community, which might suggest inequality contrary to the equal empowerment mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12:7.
James 2:1-4: My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [the Lord] of glory, with respect of persons.
