Contradiction with Matthew 7:1
This verse advises against judgment, while Ezekiel 33:7 charges Ezekiel with the duty of warning the wicked.
Matthew 7:1: Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Contradiction with James 4:11
This verse warns against speaking evil and judging the law, contrasting with Ezekiel's role of warning others.
James 4:11: Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of [his] brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
Contradiction with Romans 14:13
This verse tells not to judge one another, whereas Ezekiel 33:7 assigns the role of a watchman to confront and warn.
Romans 14:13: Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in [his] brother's way.
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 4:5
Instructs to refrain from judgment before the time, differing from Ezekiel's responsibility to declare judgment.
1 Corinthians 4:5: Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
Contradiction with Luke 6:37
Advises not to judge or condemn, whereas Ezekiel is tasked to pronounce warnings of judgment.
Luke 6:37: Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
Contradiction with John 8:7
Suggests not to cast judgment or stones, yet Ezekiel 33:7 involves a duty of announcing potential divine judgment.
John 8:7: So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
Paradox #1
The moral conflict in Ezekiel 33:7 could be seen in the responsibility of the "watchman." This verse might present a challenge because it places a heavy burden on one person to warn others, which raises questions about personal responsibility versus communal responsibility. Should one individual bear the consequences if others do not listen? This could create tension between individual duties and collective accountability.
