Contradiction with Genesis 1:4
Genesis 1:4 states, "And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness." This verse contradicts 2 Corinthians 4:6, which discusses God shining spiritual light in hearts rather than separating physical light from darkness.
Genesis 1:4: And God saw the light, that [it was] good: and God divided the light from the darkness. [the light from...: Heb. between the light and between the darkness]
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 12:12
Ecclesiastes 12:12 mentions, "And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh." This verse suggests that pursuing wisdom and knowledge can be burdensome, while 2 Corinthians 4:6 suggests spiritual enlightenment is given freely and is enlightening.
Ecclesiastes 12:12: And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books [there is] no end; and much study [is] a weariness of the flesh. [study: or, reading]
Contradiction with John 9:39
John 9:39 says, "And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind." This implies judgment and selective revelation, contrasting with 2 Corinthians 4:6, which speaks of God universally shining light into hearts for understanding.
John 9:39: And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
Contradiction with 1 John 1:5
1 John 1:5 states, "This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all." It suggests that light is the totality of God’s nature, while 2 Corinthians 4:6 focuses on light as knowledge given to others, potentially reducing light to a tool rather than an absolute.
1 John 1:5: This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
