Contradictions and Paradoxes in Hebrews 1:2

Check out Contradictions Catalog of Hebrews 1:2 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Hebrews 1:2. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to the author of Hebrews, God used to talk to people in different ways long ago, but now, He talks to us through His Son, Jesus. Jesus is very special because God chose Him to own everything and He also helped God create everything in the world.

Hebrews 1:2: Hath in these last days spoken unto us by [his] Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

Contradiction with Genesis 1:1

Indicates God created the heavens and the earth, not specifying Jesus as the agent, whereas Hebrews 1:2 states that God made the worlds through His Son.

Genesis 1:1: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Contradiction with John 1:3

States all things were made by the Word, linking creation directly to the Word, while Hebrews 1:2 attributes creation through the Son, causing interpretational differences among denominations.

John 1:3: All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Contradiction with Isaiah 44:24

God declares He made all things by Himself, which seems to contrast with Hebrews 1:2 stating creation was through the Son, raising questions about the role of Jesus in creation.

Isaiah 44:24: Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I [am] the LORD that maketh all [things]; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;

Contradiction with Colossians 1:16

Indicates that all things were created by Christ and for Him, which can be seen as both supporting and differing from the interpretation in Hebrews 1:2 depending on theological perspectives.

Colossians 1:16: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

Contradiction with Nehemiah 9:6

Credits God alone as the creator of heaven and the earth, which diverges from Hebrews 1:2's implication that creation was mediated through the Son.

Nehemiah 9:6: Thou, [even] thou, [art] LORD alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all [things] that [are] therein, the seas, and all that [is] therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.

Paradox #1

The contradiction in Hebrews 1:2 could be the idea that the universe was created by a divine being. Science supports the theory of the Big Bang as the origin of the universe, which does not involve a supernatural creator. This presents a conflict between the biblical account and the scientific explanation of the universe's beginnings.
