Contradiction with Genesis 1:11-12
These verses describe how God created vegetation, each according to its kind, implying creation according to a specific plan, contrasting with the uniqueness of individual bodies mentioned in 1 Corinthians 15:38.
Genesis 1:11-12: And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, [and] the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed [is] in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. [grass: Heb. tender grass]
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 3:19-20
These verses suggest that humans and animals have the same fate, returning to dust, which contradicts the idea of unique bodies given by God as stated in 1 Corinthians 15:38.
Ecclesiastes 3:19-20: For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all [is] vanity.
Contradiction with Job 34:15
Implies that all flesh will perish and return to dust, not highlighting the uniqueness of each body as in 1 Corinthians 15:38.
Job 34:15: All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.
Contradiction with Psalm 104:29
Speaks to all creatures perishing and returning to dust, in contrast to the notion of God giving each body its uniqueness in 1 Corinthians 15:38.
Psalm 104:29: Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 15:39
Though part of the same chapter, it lists distinctions of different kinds of flesh, subtly contradicting the singular focus on unique body attribution by God in verse 38.
1 Corinthians 15:39: All flesh [is] not the same flesh: but [there is] one [kind of] flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, [and] another of birds.
