Contradiction with John 9:2-3
Indicates that some sufferings, such as blindness, are present for the works of God to be manifest, implying restoration does not occur until a divine intervention.
John 9:2-3: And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
Contradiction with Matthew 11:5
Shows that during Jesus' ministry, miracles like the healing of the lame and the mute were rare and associated explicitly with Jesus.
Matthew 11:5: The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
Contradiction with 2 Corinthians 12:7-9
Paul speaks about a "thorn in the flesh" which is not removed, highlighting that not all ailments are taken away in the present age.
2 Corinthians 12:7-9: And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
Contradiction with Job 5:7
States that "man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward," suggesting a life filled with difficulties and not inherently restored.
Job 5:7: Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward. [trouble: or, labour] [sparks...: Heb. the sons of the burning coal lift up to fly]
Contradiction with 2 Kings 5:27
The leprosy placed upon Gehazi's descendants shows persistence of ailments as a form of punishment, contrasting with universal healing.
2 Kings 5:27: The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper [as white] as snow.
Paradox #1
The verse suggests miraculous events that defy natural laws, such as the lame leaping like a deer. From a scientific perspective, without medical intervention or explanation, such sudden, complete healing is inconsistent with our understanding of human biology and medicine.
