Contradictions and Paradoxes in Isaiah 51:2

Check out Contradictions Catalog of Isaiah 51:2 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Isaiah 51:2. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Isaiah, God wants Christians to remember Abraham and Sarah because they were chosen and blessed by Him. God helped them grow and have many descendants, showing He can help and bless those who trust in Him.

Isaiah 51:2: Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah [that] bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.

Contradiction with Matthew 3:9

It contradicts Isaiah 51:2 by stating that God can raise children for Abraham from stones, questioning the exclusivity of Abraham as a sole origin of blessing and lineage.

Matthew 3:9: And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to [our] father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

Contradiction with Romans 9:7

Emphasizes that not all descendants of Abraham are considered his children, contradicting the idea of direct blessing based on lineage in Isaiah 51:2.

Romans 9:7: Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, [are they] all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.

Contradiction with John 8:39

Jesus indicates that simply being Abraham's descendants does not align with doing Abraham's works, which contradicts the notion of lineage being inherently blessed as suggested in Isaiah 51:2.

John 8:39: They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

Contradiction with Galatians 3:7

Argues that those who have faith are the true children of Abraham, providing a different perspective than the physical lineage emphasized in Isaiah 51:2.

Galatians 3:7: Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

Contradiction with Romans 4:13

Suggests that the promise to Abraham was through the righteousness of faith, not through the law or lineage, offering a theological contradiction to Isaiah 51:2's focus on heritage.

Romans 4:13: For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, [was] not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
