Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 14:33
This verse states that God is not the author of confusion, which contrasts with the confusion and lack of unity described in Acts 19:32.
1 Corinthians 14:33: For God is not [the author] of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. [confusion: Gr. tumult, or, unquietness]
Contradiction with James 3:16

Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 1:10

1 Corinthians 1:10: Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and [that] there be no divisions among you; but [that] ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. [divisions: Gr. schisms]
Contradiction with Proverbs 28:2
