Check out Contradictions Catalog of Luke 11:19 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Luke 11:19. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Luke, Jesus is saying that if people think He uses bad powers to make bad spirits go away, then they should wonder how their own helpers manage to do the same thing. This shows that those helpers can see what is true and fair.

Luke 11:19: And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast [them] out? therefore shall they be your judges.

Contradiction with Matthew 12:26

This verse suggests that Satan cannot be divided against himself, which contradicts the implication that casting out devils by Beelzebub could be a feasible scenario.

Matthew 12:26: And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?

Contradiction with Mark 3:24

This verse states that a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand, contradicting the idea implied in Luke 11:19 that Beelzebub would empower Jesus to cast out demons.

Mark 3:24: And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

Contradiction with John 8:44

This verse identifies the devil as a liar without truth, which opposes the notion in Luke 11:19 that Satan would logically cooperate by enabling casting out his own demons.

John 8:44: Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. [of his own: or, from his own will or disposition]

Paradox #1

Luke 11:19 might raise a contradiction or inconsistency because it refers to the idea of someone using the power of evil to drive out evil, which can be seen as conflicting with generally held beliefs about goodness and evil not working together. It challenges the notion that only good power can overcome evil, prompting questions about the source of moral authority and the nature of good and evil.
