Contradiction with Ezekiel 18:30
This verse emphasizes individual responsibility for sin, contrasting with Ezekiel 12:11's depiction of collective exile as a consequence of collective behavior.
Ezekiel 18:30: Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn [yourselves] from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin. [yourselves: or, others]
Contradiction with Jeremiah 31:29-30
These verses state that each person will die for their own sin, contradicting Ezekiel 12:11's implication of a shared fate for all the house of Israel.
Jeremiah 31:29-30: In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge.
Contradiction with Ezekiel 18:20
This verse asserts that the son will not bear the iniquity of the father, which contradicts the collective accountability suggested in Ezekiel 12:11.
Ezekiel 18:20: The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 24:16
This verse declares that individuals are to be punished for their own sins, not for the sins of others, which stands in contrast to the theme in Ezekiel 12:11.
Deuteronomy 24:16: The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
Paradox #1
Ezekiel 12:11 focuses on a message of warning and prophecy through symbolic actions. A contradiction or conflict might arise if one sees the symbolic actions as deceptive or confusing rather than straightforward communication. This can lead to questions about whether such indirect methods align with principles of honesty and clarity.
