Contradiction with Romans 14:5
Suggests that individual convictions about days of worship may vary, potentially contradicting the encouragement to gather regularly found in Hebrews 10:25.
Romans 14:5: One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day [alike]. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. [fully persuaded: or, fully assured]
Contradiction with Matthew 6:6
Encourages private prayer over public gatherings, which may be seen as conflicting with the communal aspect emphasized in Hebrews 10:25.
Matthew 6:6: But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
Contradiction with John 4:21
Indicates worship is not confined to specific locations, which could contradict the call to assemble in Hebrews 10:25.
John 4:21: Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
Contradiction with Matthew 18:20
Emphasizes that where two or three are gathered, Jesus is present, suggesting smaller gatherings suffice instead of larger assemblies.
Matthew 18:20: For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or conflict in that verse might arise from the pressure it puts on individuals to gather in person, which can be challenging for people with health issues, disabilities, or personal circumstances that make attendance difficult. It suggests a strict obligation rather than understanding individual needs and situations.
