Contradiction with Matthew 16:26
This verse emphasizes the value of one's soul over worldly gain, contrasting with the idea in Job 2:4 that a person would give anything, including their soul, for their life.
Matthew 16:26: For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Contradiction with Luke 12:15
Here, Jesus warns against covetousness and suggests that life is more than possessions, contradicting Job 2:4's implication that life and material survival are worth all possessions.
Luke 12:15: And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
This passage highlights the spiritual importance of the body as a temple of the Holy Spirit, suggesting a spiritual value beyond mere physical survival, in contrast to the prioritization of life in Job 2:4.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20: What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [which is] in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
Paradox #1
Job 2:4 presents a perspective from Satan suggesting that people will give up everything, even their integrity or faith, to save their own lives. The contradiction or conflict here could be the implication that human beings value self-preservation above all else, even over moral or spiritual principles. This idea might conflict with the belief that people are capable of selfless actions and maintaining their faith or values even in the face of severe personal loss or danger.
