Contradiction with Proverbs 3:5
Encourages trusting in the Lord rather than on one's own persistence, unlike the man obtaining bread in Luke 11:8 due to his persistence.
Proverbs 3:5: Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Contradiction with Matthew 6:8
Suggests God knows our needs before we ask, in contrast to the idea of needing persistence to be heard as portrayed in Luke 11:8.
Matthew 6:8: Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
Contradiction with James 4:3
States that asking with the wrong motives will result in not receiving, contradicting the implication that mere persistence ensures reception in Luke 11:8.
James 4:3: Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume [it] upon your lusts. [lusts: or, pleasures]
Paradox #1
Luke 11:8 could be seen as having a contradiction because it suggests that persistence, or even annoyance, can lead to a favorable response. This might conflict with the idea that one should act out of genuine desire to help others, rather than responding only because of repeated requests or pressure. It raises questions about the motivations behind giving or helping others, whether it should be done willingly and with good intentions or merely because of persistence.
