Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 9:5
Claims the dead know nothing, contradicting John 11:43 where Lazarus responds after being commanded to rise.
Ecclesiastes 9:5: For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
Contradiction with Job 14:12
States that the dead do not rise until the heavens are no more, conflicting with Lazarus being raised before this event.
Job 14:12: So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens [be] no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
Contradiction with Psalm 146:4
Indicates thoughts perish at death, yet Lazarus was reanimated in John 11:43.
Psalm 146:4: His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
Contradiction with Isaiah 26:14
Says the dead shall not live, nor rise, contrasting with Lazarus being brought back to life.
Isaiah 26:14: [They are] dead, they shall not live; [they are] deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.
Contradiction with Hebrews 9:27
Suggests humans die once and face judgment, inconsistent with Lazarus dying and being raised again.
Hebrews 9:27: And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Paradox #1
The contradiction with John 11:43 would be with the concept of resurrection. In science, bringing someone back to life after death, especially after several days, defies our current understanding of biology and medicine. Modern medicine has no method to revive a body that has been dead for that length of time, as irreversible biological processes would have taken place.
