Contradiction with John 3:16
This verse emphasizes salvation through belief in Jesus Christ, potentially contradicting the exclusion of certain sinners from the kingdom of God in 1 Corinthians 6:10.
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 Romans 8:38-39
These verses suggest that nothing can separate believers from the love of God, including the listed sins in 1 Corinthians 6:10.
Romans 8:38-39: For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Contradiction with Ephesians 2:8-9
These verses emphasize that salvation is by grace through faith, not by deeds, whereas 1 Corinthians 6:10 lists behaviors that can prevent inheriting the kingdom.
Ephesians 2:8-9: For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:
Contradiction with 1 John 1:9
Promises forgiveness and cleansing from all unrighteousness upon confession, in contrast to the exclusionary list in 1 Corinthians 6:10.
1 John 1:9: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Contradiction with Matthew 7:1
Advises against judging others, while 1 Corinthians 6:10 seems to pass judgment on those practicing certain sins.
Matthew 7:1: Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Paradox #1
One possible contradiction in the verse is that it may seem to conflict with the idea of forgiveness and redemption taught elsewhere in the Bible. While this verse lists certain behaviors that can lead to exclusion from God's kingdom, other parts of the Bible emphasize that all sins can be forgiven if one repents and seeks God's grace. This could create confusion about whether certain actions are unforgivable or if all individuals have the opportunity for redemption.
