Contradiction with Genesis 8:22
This verse suggests that the earth will not pass away as long as natural cycles like seedtime and harvest endure, which might seem to contradict Luke 21:33's implication that heaven and earth will pass away.
Genesis 8:22: While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. [While...: Heb. As yet all the days of the earth]
Contradiction with Psalm 119:89
This verse emphasizes the eternal nature of God's word, which aligns with the latter part of Luke 21:33 but does not directly contradict it. The notion of heaven and earth passing away could be interpreted differently.
Psalm 119:89: LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 1:4
This verse asserts that the earth abides forever, which directly contradicts the implication in Luke 21:33 that heaven and earth will eventually pass.
Ecclesiastes 1:4: [One] generation passeth away, and [another] generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.
Contradiction with 2 Peter 3:10
This verse describes the passing away of heaven and earth, in a manner that both contrasts and confirms the temporary state of heaven and earth as mentioned in Luke 21:33 by offering an explanation of how it will happen.
2 Peter 3:10: But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Contradiction with Revelation 21:1
This verse describes a new heaven and a new earth replacing the first heaven and earth, emphasizing transformation and continuity instead of a complete cessation as could be implied in Luke 21:33.
Revelation 21:1: And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
Paradox #1
Some might see a contradiction between this verse and the observable changes in the world, questioning the idea of something permanent in an ever-changing reality. However, such concerns are typically reconciled through interpretations affirming spiritual or symbolic meanings rather than literal ones.
Paradox #2
Some people might see a contradiction in this verse when comparing it to observable changes in the physical world. The verse promises eternal stability of certain words or teachings, while everything in reality seems subject to change or decay. This could be seen as inconsistent with natural observations.
