Contradiction with Proverbs 3:5-6
These verses advise trusting in the Lord completely and not relying on one's own understanding, while Jeremiah 42:3 implies seeking specific guidance from the Lord when unsure of the path forward.
Proverbs 3:5-6: Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Contradiction with 2 Corinthians 5:7
This verse encourages walking by faith, not by sight, suggesting trust in God without requiring explicit guidance, contrary to the request in Jeremiah 42:3 for God to reveal the way to walk.
2 Corinthians 5:7: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
Contradiction with Acts 1:7
This verse highlights that certain knowledge is reserved by God and not for humans to know, contrasting with Jeremiah 42:3, where people seek divine direction and knowledge for their journey.
Acts 1:7: And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
Contradiction with James 1:6-8
These verses imply that doubting or wavering in one’s faith can prevent God from providing guidance, which contradicts the straightforward asking for direction in Jeremiah 42:3.
James 1:6-8: But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
Contradiction with Matthew 6:34
This verse advises not to worry about tomorrow since each day has enough trouble of its own, whereas Jeremiah 42:3 involves asking for future guidance.
Matthew 6:34: Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day [is] the evil thereof.
