Contradiction with Ezekiel 18:20
This verse states that the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, contradicting the conditional aspect of David's descendants needing to follow God's ways to maintain the throne, as presented in 2 Chronicles 7:17.
Ezekiel 18:20: The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Contradiction with Galatians 2:16
This verse emphasizes justification by faith in Jesus Christ rather than adherence to the law, challenging the concept of following commandments as stipulated in 2 Chronicles 7:17.
Galatians 2:16: Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Contradiction with Romans 10:9
It suggests that salvation and righteousness come from confessing and believing in Jesus, not through abiding by commands like those given in 2 Chronicles 7:17.
Romans 10:9: That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Contradiction with Hebrews 8:7-8
Indicates that the first covenant, conditioned on adherence as in 2 Chronicles 7:17, was flawed and replaced with a new covenant.
Hebrews 8:7-8: For if that first [covenant] had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
Contradiction with Matthew 5:17-18
Jesus claims the law will not disappear, yet His teachings sometimes appear to revise Old Testament laws, introducing potential incongruity with strict adherence as suggested in 2 Chronicles 7:17.
Matthew 5:17-18: Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
