Jeremiah 39:18 Contradictions and Paradoxes

According to Jeremiah, God promises to keep you safe and protect you because you trust in Him. You won't be hurt, and your life is like a special prize because you have faith.

Contradiction with Matthew 21:21

While Jeremiah 39:18 speaks of deliverance and safety through faith, Matthew 21:21 emphasizes the power of faith to perform miracles rather than just ensuring personal safety.

Matthew 21:21: Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this [which is done] to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.

Contradiction with Proverbs 16:4

Jeremiah 39:18 talks about deliverance for those who trust in God, whereas Proverbs 16:4 implies that the Lord has made everything for its purpose, including the wicked for the day of trouble, suggesting not all may be delivered.

Proverbs 16:4: The LORD hath made all [things] for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

Contradiction with Ezekiel 18:4

While Jeremiah 39:18 offers protection to individuals who trust in God, Ezekiel 18:4 emphasizes individual responsibility where every soul is judged on their own actions, implying no guaranteed deliverance.

Ezekiel 18:4: Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.

Contradiction with Psalm 73:12

Jeremiah 39:18 assures escape for putting trust in God, while Psalm 73:12 observes that the wicked often live in prosperity, contradicting the notion that trust in God is necessary for safety.

Psalm 73:12: Behold, these [are] the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase [in] riches.

Contradiction with Job 21:7-9

Jeremiah 39:18 refers to deliverance for the faithful, but Job 21:7-9 questions why the wicked live to old age and grow mighty in power, suggesting a contradiction in reward or punishment.

Job 21:7-9: Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?

Contradiction with Isaiah 57:1

Jeremiah 39:18 suggests safety for the faithful, whereas Isaiah 57:1 notes that righteous individuals perish and no one takes it to heart, contradicting the assurance of deliverance based on faith.
