Contradiction with Psalm 37:9
This verse suggests that evildoers will be cut off, implying a more swift or different handling than what is suggested in Luke 18:7, which speaks of God's patience and eventual deliverance for the elect.
Psalm 37:9: For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 8:11
It indicates that a delayed execution of judgment causes wrongdoing to persist, contrasting with the assurance of eventual justice mentioned in Luke 18:7.
Ecclesiastes 8:11: Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
Contradiction with Isaiah 1:15
States that God will not hear prayers when people's hands are full of blood, which seems at odds with Luke 18:7 where God is said to avenge His elect.
Isaiah 1:15: And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. [make...: Heb. multiply prayer] [blood: Heb. bloods]
Contradiction with Lamentations 3:44
This verse implies God can hide Himself and not listen to prayers, contradicting the idea of assured intervention in Luke 18:7.
Lamentations 3:44: Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that [our] prayer should not pass through.
Contradiction with Habakkuk 1:2
Expresses a cry for help without receiving an answer, which contrasts with the promise of justice for the elect in Luke 18:7.
Habakkuk 1:2: O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! [even] cry out unto thee [of] violence, and thou wilt not save!
Contradiction with Matthew 7:21-23
It suggests that not all who call on the Lord will be heard or recognized, which appears to contradict the notion that God will avenge His elect as suggested in Luke 18:7.
Matthew 7:21-23: Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Contradiction with James 4:3
Indicates that prayers can go unanswered if asked with wrong motives, contrasting the promised response seen in Luke 18:7.
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
The contradiction or conflict might arise from the idea that God will always grant justice to those who cry out to Him. Some might question why, in reality, many people suffer and face injustice despite their prayers and faith, suggesting an inconsistency between the promise of divine intervention and the existence of prolonged human suffering.
