Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 9:5
This verse suggests there is no activity or consciousness after death, contradicting the resurrection of the dead described in Acts 24:15.
Ecclesiastes 9:5: For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
Contradiction with Job 14:10-12
These verses describe that people do not rise from the dead until the heavens are no more, which contrasts with Acts 24:15's assertion of resurrection.
Job 14:10-12: But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where [is] he? [wasteth...: Heb. is weakened, or, cut off]
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 15:50
This verse claims that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, potentially contradicting the resurrection of all the dead as mentioned in Acts 24:15.
1 Corinthians 15:50: Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
Contradiction with Psalm 88:10
This verse questions if the dead can rise and praise, which could be seen as opposing the certainty of resurrection expressed in Acts 24:15.
Psalm 88:10: Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise [and] praise thee? Selah.
Contradiction with Isaiah 26:14
States the dead do not live, nor will they rise, contradicting the hope of resurrection assured in Acts 24:15.
Isaiah 26:14: [They are] dead, they shall not live; [they are] deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.
Paradox #1
Acts 24:15 talks about the hope of a resurrection for both the righteous and the wicked. A potential contradiction could be with the belief held by some Christian groups that only the righteous will be resurrected or that the wicked will face immediate judgment and not be resurrected at all. This verse could conflict with interpretations that don't include a universal resurrection.
Paradox #2
Acts 24:15 mentions the hope of a resurrection for both the just and unjust. A potential contradiction or inconsistency could be the idea of both the righteous and wicked being resurrected, which might seem unfair to some since it implies equal treatment in death regardless of one's actions in life. This could conflict with the notion of justice where good is rewarded and evil is punished.
