Contradiction with Isaiah 2:4
This verse speaks of beating swords into plowshares and not learning war anymore, which contradicts Ezekiel 29:8's concept of bringing a sword upon the land.
Isaiah 2:4: And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. [pruninghooks: or, scythes]
Contradiction with Matthew 5:9
This verse considers peacemakers blessed, contrasting the impending sword and conflict described in Ezekiel 29:8.
Matthew 5:9: Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Contradiction with Micah 4:3
Similar to Isaiah 2:4, this verse talks about turning swords into plowshares, contradicting the warfare expressed in Ezekiel 29:8.
Micah 4:3: And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. [pruninghooks: or, scythes]
Contradiction with Romans 12:18
This verse encourages living peaceably with all men, which contrasts with the destructive conflict suggested in Ezekiel 29:8.
Romans 12:18: If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
Paradox #1
This verse speaks about God's intention to bring a sword upon a land, implying destruction and violence. The contradiction could be the notion of a loving and benevolent deity choosing to inflict harm, which seems inconsistent with the idea of mercy and compassion often associated with God.
