Contradictions and Paradoxes in Luke 11:12

Check out Contradictions Catalog of Luke 11:12 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Luke 11:12. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Luke, if a child asks their dad for an egg, the dad wouldn't give them something dangerous like a scorpion. This shows that God, like a good dad, gives us good and safe things we need.

Luke 11:12: Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? [offer: Gr. give]

Contradiction with Matthew 7:11

While Luke 11:12 speaks about a father not giving a scorpion instead of an egg, Matthew 7:11 emphasizes that parents give good gifts to their children, stressing God's willingness to give good gifts without the analogy of a scorpion or an egg.

Matthew 7:11: If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Contradiction with James 1:13

Luke 11:12 uses the metaphor of giving inappropriate things (a scorpion) to illustrate what God wouldn't do, whereas James 1:13 explicitly states that God cannot be tempted with evil and does not tempt anyone, contradicting the idea of a negative outcome.

James 1:13: Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: [evil: or, evils]
