Contradiction with Jeremiah 31:34
This verse, quoted in Hebrews 8:11, states the same idea of no longer needing to teach neighbors about the Lord, so it doesn't contradict but rather reinforces the message.
Jeremiah 31:34: And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Contradiction with 1 John 2:27
It mentions that the anointing one receives teaches all things, suggesting a similar concept that individuals will know God personally, which doesn't contradict Hebrews 8:11.
1 John 2:27: But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. [in him: or, in it]
Contradiction with Romans 10:14
This verse suggests the necessity of preaching for people to believe, which contrasts with the notion in Hebrews 8:11 that teaching will no longer be needed.
Romans 10:14: How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
Paradox #1
Hebrews 8:11 suggests that there will be a time when people will no longer need to teach each other about knowing God because everyone will know Him. The potential theological conflict could arise with the role of teaching and evangelism in Christianity, as these are fundamental practices in the faith aimed at spreading the knowledge of God. If everyone already knows God as the verse implies, it could be seen as contradictory to the ongoing need for religious education and sharing the faith.
Paradox #2
The contradiction or inconsistency of Hebrews 8:11 could be seen in the context of early Christian communities and Jewish tradition. While the verse suggests a time when no one needs to teach another about God because everyone will know Him, the reality was that religious instruction was essential and ongoing in both Jewish and early Christian practices. This inconsistency lies in the continuing need for religious teachers and leaders to interpret and convey religious teachings throughout history.
