Contradiction with Proverbs 3:5
This verse encourages trust in the Lord rather than relying on human discernment, while Isaiah 7:15 speaks of learning to reject evil and choose good through moral maturity.
Proverbs 3:5: Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Contradiction with Romans 14:14
This verse suggests that nothing is unclean in itself unless it is perceived as unclean, which contrasts with Isaiah 7:15's implication of learning to discern and choose between good and evil based on inherent qualities.
Romans 14:14: I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that [there is] nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him [it is] unclean. [unclean: Gr. common]
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 7:20
This verse acknowledges that no one is perfectly righteous or free from sin, contradicting the idea that someone can naturally learn to choose good as mentioned in Isaiah 7:15.
Ecclesiastes 7:20: For [there is] not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.
Paradox #1
Isaiah 7:15 talks about a child eating specific foods to learn to make good choices, which some might see as inconsistent with historical customs or dietary practices of that time. Additionally, interpreting the prophecy about the child can lead to differing views, especially when considering its application in different religious contexts, such as Jewish or Christian beliefs about who the child is.
Paradox #2
The potential contradiction in Isaiah 7:15 could be related to the idea of eating certain foods leading to moral awareness or decision-making skills, which some might find inconsistent with the belief that moral understanding comes from spiritual or intellectual growth, not physical nourishment.
