Contradiction with Genesis 1:1
John 10:38 speaks of Jesus doing works that attest to His divine connection, while Genesis 1:1 attributes the creation of the world solely to God, not mentioning Jesus' involvement.
Genesis 1:1: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 4:39
This verse emphasizes the uniqueness of God in heaven and on earth, which can contradict the divine unity presented in John 10:38 where Jesus claims a divine role through His works.
Deuteronomy 4:39: Know therefore this day, and consider [it] in thine heart, that the LORD he [is] God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: [there is] none else.
Contradiction with Isaiah 42:8
God states He will not share His glory with another, potentially contradicting Jesus' claim of divine unity through His works in John 10:38.
Isaiah 42:8: I [am] the LORD: that [is] my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
Contradiction with Isaiah 43:10
Declares that before God there was no other god formed, nor will there be after, challenging John's claim of Jesus' works being evidence of divinity.
Isaiah 43:10: Ye [are] my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I [am] he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. [no...: or, nothing formed of God]
Contradiction with Mark 10:18
Jesus Himself says no one is good but God alone, which could be seen as contrasting with the claim of unity with the Father in John 10:38.
Mark 10:18: And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? [there is] none good but one, [that is], God.
Contradiction with John 5:19
Jesus says He can do nothing by Himself and only what He sees the Father do, which might seem contradictory to the implications of independent divine capacity in John 10:38.
John 5:19: Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
Contradiction with John 14:28
Jesus mentions that the Father is greater than He, which could contradict the unity in works implied in John 10:38.
John 14:28: Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come [again] unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
Contradiction with Philippians 2:6-7
Describes Jesus as not considering equality with God something to be used for His advantage, possibly countering the divine assertion in John 10:38.
Philippians 2:6-7: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
Contradiction with Hebrews 3:3
Stresses that Jesus was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, contrasting the unified divine identity in works shown in John 10:38.
Hebrews 3:3: For this [man] was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.
Contradiction with Revelation 1:8
God speaks as the Alpha and Omega, which might conflict with John 10:38 where Jesus implies a divine unity through His actions.
Revelation 1:8: I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
