Contradiction with Matthew 5:43-44
These verses, which advocate for loving enemies and blessing those who curse you, contradict the sense of establishing the observance of Purim with messages of peace as seen in Esther 9:30, which follows a narrative of retribution against enemies.
Matthew 5:43-44: Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
Contradiction with Romans 12:19
This verse advises against taking vengeance and leaving it to God's wrath, which contradicts the theme of vindication and retributive justice through Mordecai's letters in Esther 9:30.
Romans 12:19: Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but [rather] give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Contradiction with James 1:20
The emphasis on human anger not producing righteousness contrasts with the celebratory establishment of Purim following acts of vengeance in Esther 9:30.
James 1:20: For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
Contradiction with Proverbs 20:22
Encourages waiting for the Lord for deliverance rather than initiating human acts of vengeance, in contrast to the defensive acts by Mordecai and Esther's people commemorated in Esther 9:30.
Proverbs 20:22: Say not thou, I will recompense evil; [but] wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee.
Contradiction with 1 Peter 3:9
Advises against repaying evil for evil, contradicting the retributive actions that preceded the peaceful message in Esther 9:30.
1 Peter 3:9: Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
