Contradiction with Proverbs 22:6
Genesis 19:14 shows Lot's sons-in-law dismissing his warnings, whereas Proverbs 22:6 suggests that if one is trained properly, they will not depart from the correct path.
Proverbs 22:6: Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. [Train...: or, Catechise] [in...: Heb. in his way]
Contradiction with Ephesians 6:1
Genesis 19:14 depicts a disregard for parental guidance, while Ephesians 6:1 emphasizes the importance of children obeying their parents.
Ephesians 6:1: Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
Contradiction with Matthew 10:14
Genesis 19:14 shows Lot persisting despite rejection, whereas Matthew 10:14 suggests leaving behind those who do not listen.
Matthew 10:14: And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
Contradiction with Ezekiel 18:20
In Genesis 19:14, Lot's sons-in-law refuse to heed warning, but Ezekiel 18:20 states that individuals are responsible for their own actions, implying they should have listened regardless of their relationship to Lot.
Ezekiel 18:20: The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Paradox #1
The contradiction in this context could be that Lot's attempt to warn his sons-in-law about the impending destruction of Sodom was not taken seriously, highlighting a potential inconsistency in the communication between divine warnings and human belief or action. This can reflect the conflict between understanding or recognizing moral truth and the skepticism or disbelief in the face of impending danger.
