Contradiction with John 3:16
While John 17:6 mentions revealing God's name to "the men which thou gavest me out of the world," John 3:16 expresses God's love for the world as a whole, indicating a universal revelation and salvation.

Contradiction with 2 Peter 3:9
John 17:6 speaks of God having "given" people to Jesus, implying a selection, while 2 Peter 3:9 states that God is "not willing that any should perish," suggesting a desire for all to come to repentance, not just a specific group.
2 Peter 3:9: The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Contradiction with 1 John 2:2
John 17:6 implies a specific group that God has given to Jesus, but 1 John 2:2 states that Jesus is the propitiation "for the sins of the whole world," indicating a broader scope beyond those given to Jesus.
1 John 2:2: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for [the sins of] the whole world.
Contradiction with Romans 11:32
The verse from Romans suggests that God has concluded "all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all," implying a universal scope of mercy that contrasts with the more exclusive group mentioned in John 17:6.
Romans 11:32: For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. [concluded...: or, shut them all up together]
Contradiction with Matthew 15:24
John 17:6 talks about revealing God's name to those given to Jesus, while Matthew 15:24 states Jesus’ mission was to "the lost sheep of the house of Israel," indicating a focus on Israel rather than a group called out of the world.
Matthew 15:24: But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
