Contradiction with James 1:22
Whereas Acts 8:25 shows apostles preaching the Word steadfastly, James 1:22 warns against merely hearing the Word without acting on it.
James 1:22: But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
Contradiction with Matthew 7:21
In Acts 8:25, actions involve spreading the Word, but Matthew 7:21 emphasizes that declaring "Lord, Lord" is not enough; doing the Father’s will is essential.
Matthew 7:21: Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Contradiction with Mark 16:15
Acts 8:25 depicts fulfilling a mission in Samaria, but Mark 16:15 calls for preaching to all the world, highlighting a broader mission.
Mark 16:15: And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Contradiction with Luke 10:39-42
Acts 8:25 highlights active preaching, but Luke 10:39-42 contrasts this with the value of listening to the Word, as Mary did, illustrating different priorities.
Luke 10:39-42: And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.
Contradiction with Galatians 1:10
Acts 8:25 shows obedience in sharing the message preached, but Galatians 1:10 cautions against pleasing people over God, which could impede true gospel preaching if compromised.
Galatians 1:10: For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
