Contradiction with Genesis 2:7
This verse states that God formed man and breathed life into him, suggesting creation of life rather than resurrection of it as depicted in Ezekiel 37:9.
Genesis 2:7: And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. [of the dust...: Heb. dust of the ground]
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 9:5
This verse claims the dead know nothing and have no consciousness, contrasting with Ezekiel 37:9 which implies the dead can be revived and are aware.
Ecclesiastes 9:5: For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
Contradiction with Hebrews 9:27
It asserts it's appointed for men to die once and then judgment, inconsistent with the life-restoring act in Ezekiel 37:9.
Hebrews 9:27: And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Contradiction with Luke 16:31
Indicates that even if someone rises from the dead, people will not be persuaded, contrasting with the purpose of revival in Ezekiel 37:9.
Luke 16:31: And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or inconsistency in Ezekiel 37:9 could be related to the idea of bringing the dead back to life or reanimating dry bones through supernatural means. In science, life cannot be restored to dead bodies or bones without biological and biochemical processes, which cannot occur just through spoken words or breath as suggested in the verse. Science requires physical changes and interventions for reanimation and cannot accept supernatural explanations.
