Contradictions and Paradoxes in Acts 2:34

Check out Contradictions Catalog of Acts 2:34 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Acts 2:34. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Luke, David did not go up to heaven, but he spoke about a special promise where God told someone important to sit beside Him. This shows that Jesus has a special place with God.

Acts 2:34: For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

Contradiction with Matthew 22:44

This verse claims that David is the one who said, "The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand."

Matthew 22:44: If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?

Contradiction with Hebrews 1:13

This verse asks to which of the angels God ever said to sit at His right hand, indicating it's a special honor unlike what Acts 2:34 suggests regarding David.

Hebrews 1:13: But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?

Contradiction with Mark 12:36

This verse, like Acts 2:34, quotes David saying the Lord would have someone sit at His right hand, which some interpret as contradictory to the identity of this figure.

Mark 12:36: For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

Paradox #1

Acts 2:34 mentions that David did not ascend to heaven, yet elsewhere in the Bible, it is suggested that righteous people, including figures like Elijah, were taken to heaven. This can seem inconsistent because it raises questions about what happens to different people after death and how these events are portrayed in biblical narratives.
