Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 1:4
This verse suggests permanence, stating that the earth abides forever, while Isaiah 51:8 speaks of earthly things like garments being eaten by moths and earthly creation as transient.
Ecclesiastes 1:4: [One] generation passeth away, and [another] generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.
Contradiction with Matthew 24:35
This verse states that heaven and earth will pass away, contradicting the implication of eternal salvation in Isaiah 51:8 because it emphasizes transience on a broader cosmic scale.
Matthew 24:35: Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Contradiction with 2 Peter 3:10
This verse speaks about the day of the Lord, when the heavens will pass away and earth will be burned up, contrasting with the stability and endurance suggested in Isaiah 51:8 regarding the Lord's righteousness and salvation.
2 Peter 3:10: But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or conflict in Isaiah 51:8 could be seen when considering messages of forgiveness and enduring love in other parts of the Bible. This verse discusses punishment and destruction for wrongdoers, which might seem at odds with themes of mercy and grace elsewhere.
