Contradiction with John 1:12-13
John 8:41 suggests Jesus' audience claims God as their Father, but John 1:12-13 says only those who receive Jesus are given the right to become children of God, implying not all are automatically God's children.
John 1:12-13: But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name: [power: or, the right, or, privilege]
Contradiction with Romans 9:7-8
John 8:41 implies a physical ancestry linked to being God's children, but Romans 9:7-8 states that being Abraham's descendants doesn't make them all children of God, but only the children of the promise are counted as the seed.
Romans 9:7-8: Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, [are they] all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
Contradiction with 1 John 3:10
John 8:41 involves a claim of divine parentage, yet 1 John 3:10 provides a criterion where actions (doing righteousness) determine being children of God, suggesting that mere claim isn't enough.
1 John 3:10: In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 7:9-10
John 8:41 displays a claim of having God as a father, but Jeremiah 7:9-10 highlights the contradiction where people commit sins yet claim safety in God's name, revealing hypocrisy in such claims.
Jeremiah 7:9-10: Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not;
Contradiction with Isaiah 64:8
While John 8:41 involves a claim to divine parentage, Isaiah 64:8 openly acknowledges God as Father of all, contrasting the exclusive claim to sonship by lineage.
Isaiah 64:8: But now, O LORD, thou [art] our father; we [are] the clay, and thou our potter; and we all [are] the work of thy hand.
