Contradiction with Jeremiah 28:9
Prophets are established as true if their prophecies are fulfilled, suggesting a different outcome than implied in 2 Chronicles 18:27.
Jeremiah 28:9: The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, [then] shall the prophet be known, that the LORD hath truly sent him.
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 18:22
A prophet's legitimacy is judged by their prophecy coming to pass, which contrasts the skepticism of the prophecy in 2 Chronicles 18:27.
Deuteronomy 18:22: When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that [is] the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, [but] the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
Contradiction with Ezekiel 13:6
Discusses false prophets and their fake visions, counter to the certainty expressed by Micaiah in 2 Chronicles 18:27.
Ezekiel 13:6: They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made [others] to hope that they would confirm the word.
Contradiction with 1 Kings 22:28
Similarly illustrates Micaiah’s words but could imply a need for prophecy fulfillment to validate truth, which contrasts with the implied outcome in 2 Chronicles 18:27.
1 Kings 22:28: And Micaiah said, If thou return at all in peace, the LORD hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O people, every one of you.
Paradox #1
The potential contradiction in this verse could be around the idea of truth versus consequences. The speaker insists on saying what is true, even if it won't be believed or accepted by others. This might conflict with situations where telling the truth could lead to negative outcomes for oneself or others, raising questions about when it's right to speak the truth and when it might be better to remain silent or careful.
