Contradiction with Jeremiah 7:4
This verse contradicts Isaiah 2:3 by emphasizing false beliefs in the temple rather than genuine teaching from God’s word.
Jeremiah 7:4: Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, [are] these.
Contradiction with Romans 3:20
While Isaiah 2:3 talks about learning God's law, this verse suggests that the law alone is insufficient for justification.
Romans 3:20: Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law [is] the knowledge of sin.
Contradiction with Matthew 15:9
This verse contradicts Isaiah 2:3 by indicating that teachings can be in vain if they are not truly from God.
Matthew 15:9: But in vain they do worship me, teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men.
Contradiction with Galatians 3:10
Contradicts Isaiah 2:3 by stating that relying on the law brings a curse, rather than learning and walking in God's paths as a blessing.
Galatians 3:10: For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
Contradiction with Colossians 2:22
Isaiah 2:3 encourages following God's teachings, but this verse suggests that man-made doctrines are not worthwhile.
Colossians 2:22: Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
Paradox #1
The contradiction or inconsistency might involve the idea that in ancient times, Jerusalem (and the Temple inside it) was not always seen as the central place for learning and law. Other cultures and religions had their own centers of wisdom and authority. This verse suggests all nations would seek guidance from Jerusalem, which may not align with historical practices where people sought wisdom from various centers across different cultures.
