Contradiction with 2 Corinthians 4:4
Describes Satan as the god of this world, which may contradict John 14:30 referring to "the prince of this world" and his power.
2 Corinthians 4:4: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
Contradiction with John 16:11
States that the prince of this world has been judged, which seems to contradict the implication in John 14:30 that he is coming but lacks power over Jesus.
John 16:11: Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
Contradiction with Revelation 12:9
Identifies the dragon, that old serpent, as deceiving the whole world, potentially conflicting with John 14:30's notion of the ruler’s limited power over Jesus.
Revelation 12:9: And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Paradox #1
John 14:30 is often interpreted concerning the presence and influence of evil or Satan. A potential theological conflict could arise from interpreting this verse as suggesting that Satan has power or influence equal to or independent from God, which might contradict the belief in God's ultimate sovereignty and authority over all things. However, many theologians reconcile this by viewing it as a temporary allowance of influence rather than equal power.
