Check out Contradictions Catalog of Ezekiel 2:1 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Ezekiel 2:1. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to the prophet Ezekiel, God asked him to stand up because He wanted to talk to him. God was getting ready to give Ezekiel an important job or message.

Ezekiel 2:1: And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee.

Contradiction with Mark 16:15

This verse instructs followers to "Go ye into all the world," which contrasts with Ezekiel being specifically addressed as "son of man," underscoring a singular, targeted mission rather than a universal call.

Mark 16:15: And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Contradiction with James 4:10

This verse encourages humility before God, potentially conflicting with the empowerment implied in standing and receiving a direct prophetic commission as in Ezekiel 2:1.

James 4:10: Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

Contradiction with Isaiah 55:8

This scripture highlights the difference between God's ways and human ways, which may contrast with the human figure in Ezekiel 2:1 standing to receive a direct communication.

Isaiah 55:8: For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

Contradiction with Numbers 12:6

Here, God reveals Himself in visions and dreams broadly, contrasting the specific and unique calling of Ezekiel to rise and hear God's voice.

Numbers 12:6: And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, [I] the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, [and] will speak unto him in a dream.

Contradiction with Matthew 11:28

Invites the weary to rest, which contradicts the act of standing upon one's feet as commanded in Ezekiel 2:1, emphasizing action over rest.

Matthew 11:28: Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Contradiction with Genesis 32:30

Jacob's face-to-face encounter with God in this verse suggests a directness and immediacy that could contrast with the command for Ezekiel to stand and be ready to receive God's message, which implies mediation beforehand.

Genesis 32:30: And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. [Peniel: that is, The face of God]
