Contradiction with Matthew 5:14
While Isaiah 2:5 calls the house of Jacob to walk in the light of the Lord, Matthew 5:14 presents believers as already being the "light of the world," highlighting an existing state rather than a call to action.
Matthew 5:14: Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

Contradiction with 1 Thessalonians 5:5
Isaiah 2:5 commands to walk in the light, but 1 Thessalonians 5:5 states that believers are already children of light, indicating a bestowed identity rather than a directive to become.
1 Thessalonians 5:5: Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

Contradiction with 2 Corinthians 6:14
Isaiah 2:5 emphasizes walking in the light, but 2 Corinthians 6:14 distinguishes between light and darkness, promoting separation rather than unifying guidance.
