Contradiction with Proverbs 17:15
This verse states that justifying the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, which can contradict the idea of a righteous servant justifying many who are sinners.
Proverbs 17:15: He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both [are] abomination to the LORD.
Contradiction with Romans 3:23
This verse states that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, which can seem to contradict the justification described in Isaiah 53:11.
Romans 3:23: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Contradiction with Ezekiel 18:20
This verse emphasizes individual responsibility for sin, which could contradict the idea of one person bearing the iniquities of others for their justification.
Ezekiel 18:20: The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 31:30
It suggests each person will die for their own sin, contradicting the notion in Isaiah 53:11 of one bearing sins of many.
Jeremiah 31:30: But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.
Contradiction with Galatians 2:16
It emphasizes justification through faith in Jesus Christ, which may seem in contradiction to the portrayal of justification through the servant's righteousness in Isaiah 53:11.
Galatians 2:16: Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Paradox #1
Some scholars and critics argue that "Isaiah 53:11" is historically inconsistent because it seems to describe a suffering servant whose identity is debated. Some see this as a prophecy about Jesus, while others argue it originally referred to Israel or a different historical figure. This difference in interpretation can lead to contradictions with various religious and historical perspectives.
