Contradiction with Matthew 22:36-40
These verses summarize the law and the prophets with love for God and neighbor, contrasting with the detailed precept-upon-precept approach in Isaiah 28:10.
Matthew 22:36-40: Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Contradiction with Romans 13:10
Love fulfills the law, suggesting a singular principle rather than the accumulation of detailed rules mentioned in Isaiah 28:10.
Romans 13:10: Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love [is] the fulfilling of the law.
Contradiction with Galatians 5:14
The entire law is fulfilled in one command to love your neighbor, contrasting with the repetitive, instructional tone in Isaiah 28:10.
Galatians 5:14: For all the law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Contradiction with James 2:8
Emphasizes the 'royal law' of loving your neighbor as fulfilling the law, contrary to the step-by-step instruction outlined in Isaiah 28:10.
James 2:8: If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
Paradox #1
Isaiah 28:10 is often viewed as prescribing a repetitive, rule-based approach to learning or understanding. Some people find it conflicts with other parts of the Bible that emphasize broader principles or a more spirit-led understanding rather than strict adherence to written rules. This could create a tension between following strict guidelines and having a more adaptable, principle-focused faith.
