Contradiction with Proverbs 27:5
Open rebuke is better than secret love. This suggests that sometimes addressing issues openly is more beneficial, whereas Genesis 9:23 involves discreetly covering a fault.
Proverbs 27:5: Open rebuke [is] better than secret love.
Contradiction with Matthew 18:15
If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. This encourages direct confrontation of wrongs, in contrast to the indirect approach in Genesis 9:23.
Matthew 18:15: Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
Contradiction with 1 Timothy 5:20
Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. This promotes public rebuke, which is opposed to the private covering of Genesis 9:23.
1 Timothy 5:20: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.
Contradiction with Galatians 6:1
Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness. This verse supports gentle correction rather than simply covering the fault.
Galatians 6:1: Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. [if: or, although]
Paradox #1
Genesis 9:23 could be seen as presenting a contradiction because it involves the themes of respect for a parent and discretion about private matters. Some might argue that while it demonstrates respect by covering a father's shame, it may conflict with the idea of addressing wrongdoing openly. This can create tension between maintaining family honor and acknowledging truth.
