Contradictions and Paradoxes in Hebrews 11:28

Check out Contradictions Catalog of Hebrews 11:28 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Hebrews 11:28. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to the author of Hebrews, Moses trusted God and did what He said by putting special marks on their doors, so the bad thing couldn't hurt them. Christians believe this shows how important it is to have faith and listen to God.

Hebrews 11:28: Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.

Contradiction with James 2:20

This verse emphasizes that faith without works is dead, while Hebrews 11:28 highlights faith as the key component for deliverance without a mention of works.

James 2:20: But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

Contradiction with Exodus 4:24-26

God seeks to kill Moses despite his faith, suggesting that faith alone, as emphasized in Hebrews 11:28, may not suffice without obedience or action.

Exodus 4:24-26: And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him.

Contradiction with Matthew 7:21

This verse asserts that not everyone who acknowledges faith will enter the kingdom of heaven, contrary to Hebrews 11:28 which underscores faith in delivering from the destroyer.

Matthew 7:21: Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Paradox #1

Hebrews 11:28 talks about faith leading to the Passover sacrifice, which protected the Israelites' firstborns from death. The moral conflict here could be the idea of justice and fairness, as it involves the death of Egyptian firstborns, including innocent children, as a consequence of the Egyptians' actions, which raises issues about collective punishment and the suffering of innocents.
