Contradiction with Exodus 20:4-5
These verses oppose idol creation and worship, whereas the elaborate temple design in Ezekiel 41 may seem to imply a focus on physical structures in religious practice.
Exodus 20:4-5: Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth:
Contradiction with Acts 7:48-49
These verses emphasize that God doesn't dwell in man-made temples, contrasting with Ezekiel 41's detailed temple descriptions which may imply a physical dwelling place for God.
Acts 7:48-49: Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,
Contradiction with Isaiah 66:1-2
Here, God declares heaven as His throne and earth footstool, suggesting no temple can house Him, contradicting the implication in Ezekiel 41 that a physical temple is significant.
Isaiah 66:1-2: Thus saith the LORD, The heaven [is] my throne, and the earth [is] my footstool: where [is] the house that ye build unto me? and where [is] the place of my rest?
Contradiction with John 4:24
This verse emphasizes worship in spirit and truth rather than physical locations, potentially contradicting the focus on temple structure in Ezekiel 41.
John 4:24: God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth.
Contradiction with Matthew 12:6
Jesus claims being greater than the temple, which can stand in thematic opposition to the detailed significance of temple construction in Ezekiel 41.
Matthew 12:6: But I say unto you, That in this place is [one] greater than the temple.
