Contradiction with Matthew 8:22
This verse emphasizes leaving the dead to bury their own dead, whereas 1 Kings 13:30 describes an act of mourning and burial.
Matthew 8:22: But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 9:5
In this verse, it states the dead know nothing, contradicting the elaborate burial and mourning in 1 Kings 13:30.
Ecclesiastes 9:5: For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
Contradiction with Luke 9:60
Similar to Matthew 8:22, this verse suggests focusing on proclaiming the kingdom of God rather than burial rites, contrasting with the mourning in 1 Kings 13:30.
Luke 9:60: Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
Contradiction with John 5:28-29
These verses speak about the resurrection and judgment of the dead, which contrasts with the finality of burial implied in 1 Kings 13:30.
John 5:28-29: Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
Paradox #1
The potential contradiction in 1 Kings 13:30 could be about honoring someone in death who was disobedient in life. It might seem inconsistent to mourn or respect someone who went against God's command, as typically one would expect consequences for disobedience rather than honor. This could create confusion about the message of accountability versus forgiveness or respect in the Bible.
