Contradiction with John 3:17
John 3:17 states that God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save it, whereas John 16:11 suggests judgment because the prince of this world is judged.
John 3:17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Contradiction with Romans 8:1
This verse states that there is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus, which contradicts the notion of judgment highlighted in John 16:11.
Romans 8:1: [There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Contradiction with 1 John 4:8
This verse declares that God is love, potentially contrasting with the notion of judgment against the prince of this world in John 16:11.
1 John 4:8: He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
Contradiction with James 4:12
It mentions there is one lawgiver and judge, who can save and destroy, which may seem at odds with the judgment being discussed in John 16:11, which focuses on the devil’s judgment.
James 4:12: There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
Paradox #1
The verse itself talks about judgment and the defeat of evil. The potential contradiction might arise when considering the idea of a loving and forgiving God with the concept of judgment and condemnation. People could find it inconsistent to reconcile God's love with the notion of punishing or judging others harshly. This could create tension between understanding God's justice and His mercy.
