Check out Contradictions Catalog of Luke 18:27 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Luke 18:27. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Luke, Jesus is saying that things that people can't do by themselves can be done with God's help. It's like saying if you trust and believe in God, amazing things can happen.

Luke 18:27: And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

Contradiction with Genesis 18:14

This verse states, "Is any thing too hard for the LORD?" which aligns with the notion of God's omnipotence, contradicting any implication that specific things could be uncommon or difficult for God, suggesting different contexts of divine power usage.

Genesis 18:14: Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.

Contradiction with Matthew 19:26

This verse similarly asserts, "with God all things are possible," directly supporting rather than contradicting the message in Luke 18:27, offering a different wording but similar meaning, which may seem contradictory in explanation intent but aligns in essence.

Matthew 19:26: But Jesus beheld [them], and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Contradiction with Mark 10:27

Like Luke 18:27, it affirms, "with God all things are possible," reflecting the same power of God upon seemingly impossible circumstances for men, challenging to dispute in contradiction but could contrast if applied contextually different.

Mark 10:27: And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men [it is] impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

Contradiction with Jeremiah 32:17

This verse states, "Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power...there is nothing too hard for thee," reinforcing God's limitless capability, interpreted to differ in human perception but not in divine action realm.

Jeremiah 32:17: Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, [and] there is nothing too hard for thee: [too...: or, hid from thee]

Paradox #1

The contradiction in Luke 18:27 could arise from the idea that while the verse suggests some things are impossible for humans but possible for God, it may conflict with the belief in human free will and responsibility. If everything relies on God's intervention, this may contradict the notion that individuals have the power and responsibility to make changes and overcome challenges on their own.
