Contradiction with Matthew 7:6
Here, Jesus warns not to give what is holy to dogs or cast pearls before swine, implying exclusivity that contrasts with the invitation to everyone in Isaiah 55:1.

Contradiction with 2 Thessalonians 3:10

Paradox #1
The potential contradiction in the verse might be the offer of something without cost, which could clash with real-world experiences where things usually have a price. This could lead to questions about fairness and the sustainability of such a model in a community or economy. However, it could also emphasize generosity and grace.
