Contradiction with Matthew 11:25
This verse states that God has hidden things from the wise and revealed them to babes, contradicting the idea that knowledge is only for the mature or learned.
Matthew 11:25: At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
Contradiction with Hebrews 5:13
This verse suggests that those who are unskilled in the word are like babes, contradicting the notion that babes are capable of understanding complex teachings.
Hebrews 5:13: For every one that useth milk [is] unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. [is unskillful: Gr. hath no experience]
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 3:1-2
Paul addresses the Corinthians as babes in Christ, indicating that they can only handle milk, not solid food, contrasting with the expectation in Isaiah 28:9 about teaching knowledge to babes.
1 Corinthians 3:1-2: And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, [even] as unto babes in Christ.
Contradiction with Luke 10:21
Jesus rejoices that the Father has revealed truths to babes, contrasting the idea in Isaiah 28:9 that the teaching of knowledge and understanding is reserved for those who are weaned and matured.
Luke 10:21: In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.
Paradox #1
One potential contradiction with this verse could be about who is considered ready to receive wisdom or teaching. The verse may suggest that not everyone is prepared or worthy to learn complex truths, which might conflict with the idea that wisdom and understanding should be accessible to all people, regardless of their current knowledge or maturity level. This could raise questions about inclusivity and fairness in the distribution of knowledge.
