Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 7:39
While Luke 20:34 discusses the end of marriage in the resurrection, 1 Corinthians 7:39 indicates that a wife is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives, suggesting the permanence of marriage.
1 Corinthians 7:39: The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
Contradiction with Romans 7:2
This verse states that a woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, contrasting with Luke 20:34's message on the cessation of marriage after death.
Romans 7:2: For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to [her] husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of [her] husband.
Contradiction with Matthew 19:6
Matthew 19:6 emphasizes the unbreakable nature of marriage by stating what God has joined together, let no man separate, which contrasts with Luke 20:34’s view of ending marriage in the resurrection.
Matthew 19:6: Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
Paradox #1
The contradiction in Luke 20:34 might arise from the fact that Jesus says people in this age marry and are given in marriage, which can seem to conflict with the idea of eternal life where traditional earthly institutions like marriage don't continue. Some might see this as conflicting with the value placed on marriage, suggesting that it is important now but not necessary in the afterlife. This could be confusing for those who see marriage as a moral and eternal bond.
