Contradiction with Proverbs 3:5
Trust in the LORD conflicts with being instructed to go to a human authority alone, as Elisha asks Obadiah to do.
Proverbs 3:5: Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Contradiction with 1 John 4:1
Encourages testing spirits and questioning rather than simply following instructions.
1 John 4:1: Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Contradiction with Acts 5:29
Emphasizes obeying God rather than human directives, unlike Obadiah going to Ahab.
Acts 5:29: Then Peter and the [other] apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 17:5
Warns against trusting in man as Obadiah is asked to report to King Ahab.
Jeremiah 17:5: Thus saith the LORD; Cursed [be] the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
Contradiction with Matthew 10:28
Urges fear of God rather than of those who can kill the body, contrasting Obadiah's fear of Ahab.
Matthew 10:28: And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
