Contradictions and Paradoxes in 1 Timothy 6:13

Check out Contradictions Catalog of 1 Timothy 6:13 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts 1 Timothy 6:13. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Paul, God gives life to everything, and Jesus showed courage and truth when he spoke to Pontius Pilate. So, Paul encourages us to be brave and truthful too, just like Jesus was.

1 Timothy 6:13: I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and [before] Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; [confession: or, profession]

Contradiction with Genesis 2:17

This verse suggests that death is introduced through eating a specific tree's fruit, contradicting the idea of God as the sole source of life.

Genesis 2:17: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. [thou shalt surely...: Heb. dying thou shalt die]

Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 9:5

This verse claims that the dead are not aware, which seems at odds with God giving life to all things.

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 Isaiah 45:7

This verse states that God creates both peace and evil, raising questions about the nature of God described as solely life-giving in 1 Timothy 6:13.

Isaiah 45:7: I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these [things].

Contradiction with James 1:13

This verse says God cannot be tempted with evil, which contrasts with the notion of God allowing His life-giving nature to coincide with worldly temptations and trials as part of Jesus' testimony.

James 1:13: Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: [evil: or, evils]

Contradiction with John 18:36

This verse states that Christ's kingdom is not of this world, possibly conflicting with the idea of a testimony before Pontius Pilate being of worldly significance.

John 18:36: Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
