Contradiction with Matthew 22:30
This verse states that in the resurrection people neither marry nor are given in marriage, contradicting the implication in Luke 20:33 that marriage continues after resurrection.
Matthew 22:30: But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
Contradiction with Mark 12:25
Similar to Matthew 22:30, it clarifies that in the resurrection people will be like angels in heaven and will not marry, which contradicts the questioning notion of marriage continuity in Luke 20:33.
Mark 12:25: For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
Paradox #1
Luke 20:33 presents a question about marriage in the resurrection, which might seem to conflict with the idea of eternal life being distinct from earthly relationships. The perceived contradiction arises from understanding how earthly institutions like marriage apply in the afterlife, as Jesus suggests that earthly marital status does not carry over into the resurrected life. This could be confusing when compared to the continuity of personal identity and relationships in eternity.
Paradox #2
The moral conflict in that verse arises from questions about fairness and justice for the woman in the scenario. It deals with complex issues of earthly relationships versus eternal life, leading to confusion about how human relationships are valued or recognized in the afterlife. This can create tension between earthly customs and spiritual beliefs.
