Contradiction with Matthew 11:13-14
1 Samuel 9:9 describes prophets being formerly called seers, while Matthew 11:13-14 emphasizes John the Baptist as a prophet, without referring to him as a seer.
Matthew 11:13-14: For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
Contradiction with Hebrews 1:1-2
Hebrews suggests that God spoke through prophets in the past but now speaks through His Son, which implies a shift from the role of prophets or seers as described in 1 Samuel 9:9.
Hebrews 1:1-2: God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Contradiction with Amos 3:7
Amos states that God reveals His secrets to His prophets, indicating an ongoing role, whereas 1 Samuel 9:9 implies a historical change in terminology and potentially in the role's function.
Amos 3:7: Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or inconsistency in 1 Samuel 9:9 is that the verse explains a change in terminology where people previously called prophets "seers." This suggests a period of transition in language and practice that might not align neatly with other biblical references to prophets or seers, indicating a historical or cultural shift that isn't detailed elsewhere.
