Contradiction with Matthew 5:44
Teaches to love your enemies, while Deuteronomy 11:22 emphasizes strict adherence and loyalty to God, suggesting opposition to enemies.
Matthew 5:44: But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Contradiction with Luke 6:27
Encourages loving those who oppose you, contrasting Deuteronomy 11:22's call for obedience and loyalty, implying resistance to opposition.
Luke 6:27: But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
Contradiction with Romans 12:20
Advises feeding and caring for your enemy, which contrasts with the strict adherence and separation from others indicated in Deuteronomy 11:22.
Romans 12:20: Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
Contradiction with Matthew 5:39
Instructs to turn the other cheek instead of resisting, potentially differing from the loyalty and obedience context in Deuteronomy 11:22 which might involve standing against opposition.
Matthew 5:39: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Paradox #1
Deuteronomy 11:22 encourages people to follow God's commandments strictly. A potential contradiction could arise if someone questions whether strict obedience to all commandments conflicts with personal freedom or critical thinking. Some might argue that blindly following rules without question could prevent individuals from making morally complex decisions based on empathy or understanding rather than strict rule-following.
