Contradiction with Matthew 11:30
This verse speaks of the ease of Jesus' yoke and burden, contrasting with the idea of commandments as requirements.
Matthew 11:30: For my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light.
Contradiction with Romans 6:14
Indicates believers are not under law but under grace, which contrasts with the continued requirement of following commandments.
Romans 6:14: For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Contradiction with Galatians 2:16
Explains that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus, contradicting adherence to commandments as necessary.
Galatians 2:16: Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Contradiction with 1 John 5:3
Describes commandments as not grievous, which could be seen as a contradiction if Deuteronomy 10:13 was interpreted as burdensome.
1 John 5:3: For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or inconsistency might arise if someone perceives the expectations in the verse as imposing rules that conflict with the idea of free will. While the intentions might be for well-being, the requirements could be seen as limiting personal freedom, creating tension between obedience and autonomy.
