Contradiction with 1 Kings 8:13
This verse describes the temple as a place built by Solomon for God to dwell forever, which contrasts with the idea of it being turned into "a den of thieves" as mentioned in Luke 19:46.
1 Kings 8:13: I have surely built thee an house to dwell in, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever.
Contradiction with Isaiah 56:7
This verse states that God's house shall be called a house of prayer for all people, aligning with the intended purpose of the temple and contradicting the misuse implied in Luke 19:46.
Isaiah 56:7: Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices [shall be] accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 7:11
This verse questions whether God's house has become a den of robbers, which highlights the contradiction between its intended purpose for worship and its misuse, as denounced in Luke 19:46.
Jeremiah 7:11: Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen [it], saith the LORD.
Contradiction with Matthew 21:13
Although similar in message, this verse emphasizes that the temple should be a house of prayer over being a den of thieves, contradicting its desecration mentioned in Luke 19:46.
Matthew 21:13: And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or inconsistency in Luke 19:46 could be seen in the way religious institutions sometimes focus more on making money or maintaining power rather than serving and helping people spiritually. This can be seen as conflicting with the teachings of helping and uplifting one another.
