Contradiction with Matthew 7:21
This verse contradicts Luke 19:9 by indicating that not everyone who professes belief will enter the kingdom of heaven, implying that more than faith and acknowledgment of salvation is needed.
Matthew 7:21: 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 2:24
This verse contradicts Luke 19:9 by stating that a person is justified by works and not by faith only, emphasizing the importance of actions over mere pronouncements of salvation.
James 2:24: Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Contradiction with Romans 3:28
This verse contradicts Luke 19:9 by highlighting the belief that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law, which contrasts with the concept of salvation attributed to Zacchaeus’s actions in Luke 19:9.
Romans 3:28: Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
Contradiction with Galatians 2:21
This verse suggests that righteousness is not achieved through the law, which could contradict Luke 19:9’s implication that actions (like Zacchaeus's promise of restitution) have a role in salvation.
Galatians 2:21: I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness [come] by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
