Contradiction with James 1:5
This verse suggests that God gives wisdom to all generously, whereas Deuteronomy 3:26 illustrates a situation where God was not open to Moses' request.
James 1:5: If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Contradiction with Matthew 7:7
This verse encourages seeking and receiving through persistence in prayer, which contrasts with God's refusal to Moses in Deuteronomy 3:26.
Matthew 7:7: Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
Contradiction with John 14:13
Jesus promises that prayers asked in his name will be granted, seemingly contradicting God's refusal to Moses in Deuteronomy 3:26.
John 14:13: And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
Contradiction with Hebrews 4:16
This verse encourages approaching God's throne with confidence to receive mercy, which is at odds with God's lack of mercy towards Moses' plea in Deuteronomy 3:26.
Hebrews 4:16: Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Contradiction with 1 John 5:14
This verse expresses the confidence believers should have that God hears their prayers, which seems contrary to God's response to Moses in Deuteronomy 3:26.
1 John 5:14: And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: [in: or, concerning]
Paradox #1
The contradiction in this verse could be seen in the context of fairness. Moses led the Israelites for many years, but was not allowed to enter the Promised Land due to a mistake he made. Some might see this as conflicting with ideas of forgiveness and second chances.
