Contradiction with Matthew 22:30
This verse parallels Luke 20:36 by stating that in the resurrection, people neither marry nor are given in marriage, thus not directly contradicting it.
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 Genesis 2:24
This verse states that a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, emphasizing earthly marriage, which is not a focus in the afterlife as described in Luke 20:36.
Genesis 2:24: Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Contradiction with Matthew 19:6
This verse speaks of marriage as an unbreakable union ordained by God, contrasting the lack of marriage in the resurrection mentioned in Luke 20:36.
Matthew 19:6: Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 7:2
This verse advises marriage to avoid fornication, highlighting the current importance of marriage which ceases to exist in the resurrection according to Luke 20:36.
1 Corinthians 7:2: Nevertheless, [to avoid] fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
Paradox #1
The verse suggests that people will not die anymore and will be like angels. From a scientific perspective, this contradicts the natural processes of life and death that apply to all living organisms, as there is no scientific evidence supporting the idea of humans transforming into beings similar to angels or becoming immortal. Such concepts are seen as religious beliefs rather than scientifically verifiable facts.
Paradox #2
The contradiction or inconsistency could be in the idea that people become like angels and cannot die, which might conflict with the belief in resurrection or eternal life differing from angelic existence. The idea of humans becoming something other than human might not align with some interpretations of human identity and moral responsibility in the afterlife.
