Check out Contradictions Catalog of Acts 3:24 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Acts 3:24. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Luke, who wrote the book of Acts, all the prophets, starting with Samuel, talked about the special days that were happening. These prophets were like messengers from God who told people about important things that would come true.

Acts 3:24: Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.

Contradiction with Jeremiah 23:16

Jeremiah warns against listening to those who prophesy from their own hearts, suggesting not all prophets have spoken or agreed on the coming events, contrasting with the unified testimony mentioned in Acts 3:24.

Jeremiah 23:16: Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, [and] not out of the mouth of the LORD.

Contradiction with 1 John 4:1

This verse advises testing spirits to see if they are from God, indicating that not all who claim to prophesy are genuine, conflicting with the portrayal of consistent prophetic witness in Acts 3:24.

1 John 4:1: Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Contradiction with Amos 3:7

This verse states that the Lord does nothing without revealing it to the prophets, which could suggest exclusivity in revelation, potentially contradicting the idea of all prophets speaking in agreement as implied in Acts 3:24.

Amos 3:7: Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

Contradiction with Deuteronomy 18:22

This text explains that if a prophet's word does not come to pass, it’s not from God, challenging the concept of unanimous prophetic fulfillment suggested in Acts 3:24 when historical outcomes differ.

Deuteronomy 18:22: When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that [is] the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, [but] the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.

Contradiction with Ezekiel 13:6

False prophets are described as having seen nothing and yet claiming visions, which challenges the reliability of prophetic harmony stated in Acts 3:24.

Ezekiel 13:6: They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made [others] to hope that they would confirm the word.
