Contradiction with Jeremiah 3:14
While Jeremiah 3:4 speaks of addressing God as a father, Jeremiah 3:14 mentions God taking His people as husband, contrasting the familial language.
Jeremiah 3:14: Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:
Contradiction with Jeremiah 2:27
This verse highlights the rebellion and idolatry of the people, opposing the respectful addressing of God as "Father" in Jeremiah 3:4.
Jeremiah 2:27: Saying to a stock, Thou [art] my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned [their] back unto me, and not [their] face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us. [brought...: or, begotten me] [their back: Heb. the hinder part of the neck]
Contradiction with Isaiah 63:16
Here, God is explicitly acknowledged as a father and redeemer, similar to Jeremiah 3:4, but emphasizes consistent acknowledgment, contradicting the fickle behavior implied in Jeremiah 3:4.
Isaiah 63:16: Doubtless thou [art] our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, [art] our father, our redeemer; thy name [is] from everlasting. [our redeemer...: or, our redeemer from everlasting is thy name]
Contradiction with Malachi 1:6
Contradicts by stressing that if God is a father, then He should be honored, unlike the disrespectful behavior of the people in Jeremiah 3:4.
Malachi 1:6: A son honoureth [his] father, and a servant his master: if then I [be] a father, where [is] mine honour? and if I [be] a master, where [is] my fear? saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?
Contradiction with Matthew 7:21
Contradicts by stating that not everyone who calls "Lord, Lord" will enter the kingdom of heaven, implying that merely naming God as "Father" as in Jeremiah 3:4 doesn't ensure righteousness.
Matthew 7:21: Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Contradiction with Isaiah 1:2-3
The children do not know or consider their father, contrasting with the implication of intimate acknowledgment of God as father in Jeremiah 3:4.
Isaiah 1:2-3: Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
Contradiction with Hosea 11:1-2
Speaks of Israel as God's child, yet they turned away, contrasting the appeal to return in Jeremiah 3:4.
Hosea 11:1-2: When Israel [was] a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
