Contradiction with Matthew 8:26
This verse refers to Jesus calming a storm, contradicting Ezekiel 13:13, where God promises a stormy wind in judgment.
Matthew 8:26: And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
Contradiction with Psalm 107:29
Speaks of God calming the storm, which contradicts Ezekiel 13:13 stating God will bring a stormy wind.
Psalm 107:29: He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
Contradiction with Mark 4:39
In this verse, Jesus commands the wind to be still, opposing Ezekiel 13:13, where God sends a stormy wind.
Mark 4:39: And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
Paradox #1
Some might see a contradiction if they compare what Ezekiel says about God's actions with other parts of the Bible that describe God's character differently. For example, Ezekiel 13:13 describes a forceful divine action, while other passages might highlight God's gentleness or mercy. This could seem inconsistent to some readers when trying to understand God's nature as being both just and compassionate.
Paradox #2
The contradiction or conflict in this verse might be seen in the depiction of divine punishment, which some may view as harsh or inconsistent with a loving and forgiving nature of God. This can raise questions about justice and mercy.
