Contradiction with Proverbs 3:5
While Acts 27:25 emphasizes belief in God's spoken word as truth, Proverbs 3:5 advises leaning not on one's own understanding and trusting in the Lord, potentially opposing the act of relying solely on human assurance of divine messages.
Proverbs 3:5: Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 17:5
Acts 27:25 speaks to confidence in God's promise, whereas Jeremiah 17:5 warns against placing trust in man, which could be seen to challenge the idea of believing a human's interpretation of divine assurance.
Jeremiah 17:5: Thus saith the LORD; Cursed [be] the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
Contradiction with James 1:6
Acts 27:25 showcases unwavering belief in God's word to Paul, but James 1:6 mentions doubt as an obstacle to faith, suggesting a necessary condition for belief that is not explicitly mentioned in Acts 27:25.
James 1:6: But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 2:5
The verse in Acts highlights trusting in a divine message relayed by a person, while 1 Corinthians 2:5 encourages faith not to stand in the wisdom of men but in the power of God, which can contradict trusting a human re-telling of a divine promise.
1 Corinthians 2:5: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. [stand: Gr. be]
