Contradiction with Isaiah 54:17
This verse says no weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper, which seems to contradict the notion of a prophetic 'sword' affecting Mary.
Isaiah 54:17: No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue [that] shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This [is] the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness [is] of me, saith the LORD.
Contradiction with John 14:27
Jesus speaks of giving peace and not being troubled, contrasting the imagery of Mary’s soul being pierced.
John 14:27: Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Contradiction with Philippians 4:7
Promises peace that passes understanding to keep hearts and minds, which seems at odds with the disturbance implied by a sword piercing Mary's soul.
Philippians 4:7: And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Contradiction with Revelation 21:4
Speaks of God wiping away every tear, which contrasts with the sorrow implicit in Luke 2:35.
Revelation 21:4: And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Paradox #1
Luke 2:35 may present a moral conflict in terms of the notion that suffering or personal struggle is part of a divine plan or prophecy. This can be challenging to reconcile with the belief that a benevolent God should prevent pain rather than foresee or allow it for a greater purpose.
