Contradiction with John 8:44
This verse contradicts Acts 13:6 as it describes "the devil" as the father of lies, whereas Acts 13:6 introduces Elymas, who is referred to as a false prophet, suggesting the presence of falsehood, yet both verses acknowledge deception.
John 8:44: Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. [of his own: or, from his own will or disposition]
Contradiction with Matthew 7:15
This verse warns of false prophets who come in sheep's clothing, contrasting with Acts 13:6, where Elymas is explicitly identified as a false prophet without disguise.
Matthew 7:15: Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Contradiction with 2 Corinthians 11:13
Describes false apostles as deceitful workers, aligning with the idea of deception but contradicting the explicit naming of Elymas as a false prophet in Acts 13:6.
2 Corinthians 11:13: For such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
Contradiction with 2 Peter 2:1
Talks about false teachers bringing in destructive heresies, contrasting with Acts 13:6 where Elymas himself is a direct obstruction.
2 Peter 2:1: But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
Contradiction with Micah 3:5
Addresses false prophets leading people astray, in contrast to Elymas who acts as an individual false prophet in opposition.
Micah 3:5: Thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that make my people err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he that putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him.
