Contradiction with Matthew 5:39
This verse advises not to resist evil and to turn the other cheek, which contrasts with Genesis 26:17 where Isaac moves away from conflict instead of confronting aggression.
Matthew 5:39: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Contradiction with Romans 12:18
This verse encourages living peaceably with all men, but Genesis 26:17 shows Isaac avoiding conflict by relocating rather than seeking peace with those around him.
Romans 12:18: If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
Contradiction with Exodus 14:14
This verse says the Lord shall fight for you, and you shall hold your peace, which contradicts Isaac’s act of moving away in Genesis 26:17 rather than waiting for divine intervention.
Exodus 14:14: The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
Contradiction with James 4:7
This verse encourages resisting the devil to make him flee, contrasting with Genesis 26:17 where Isaac flees from the Philistines instead of resisting.
James 4:7: Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Contradiction with Joshua 1:9
This verse commands strength and courage, which contradicts Isaac's passive retreat in Genesis 26:17.
Joshua 1:9: Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God [is] with thee whithersoever thou goest.
