Contradiction with Romans 14:4
It states that each person stands or falls to their own master, which contradicts the idea of intervening in another's spiritual journey as in James 5:19.

1 Corinthians 10:12: Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
Contradiction with Matthew 13:29-30
These verses suggest leaving the wheat and tares to grow together until judgment, contrasting with the proactive correction of sin in James 5:19.
Matthew 13:29-30: But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
