Contradiction with Isaiah 55:8-9
These verses emphasize God's thoughts and ways being beyond human understanding, potentially contradicting the idea of a mystery being revealed through human means as stated in Ephesians 3:3.
Isaiah 55:8-9: For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
Contradiction with Romans 11:33
This verse speaks of the depth and unsearchability of God's judgments and ways, suggesting that divine mysteries could remain beyond full human comprehension, unlike the revelation described in Ephesians 3:3.
Romans 11:33: O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable [are] his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 8:17
It suggests that no one can fully comprehend the work of God, which may contrast with the notion of understanding the mystery mentioned in Ephesians 3:3.
Ecclesiastes 8:17: Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek [it] out, yet he shall not find [it]; yea further; though a wise [man] think to know [it], yet shall he not be able to find [it].
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 29:29
It refers to secret things belonging to God, which could contradict the idea of divine mysteries being fully revealed to humans as suggested in Ephesians 3:3.
Deuteronomy 29:29: The secret [things belong] unto the LORD our God: but those [things which are] revealed [belong] unto us and to our children for ever, that [we] may do all the words of this law.
