Contradiction with Matthew 7:21
While Luke 5:11 shows the disciples leaving everything to follow Jesus, Matthew 7:21 implies that not everyone who calls Jesus 'Lord' will enter the kingdom of heaven, suggesting that just following isn't enough without doing the will of God.
Matthew 7:21: Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Contradiction with Luke 9:62
In Luke 5:11, the disciples are praised for leaving everything behind, yet Luke 9:62 suggests looking back after committing to follow the kingdom of God is not fit.
Luke 9:62: And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
Contradiction with Matthew 13:22
Luke 5:11 depicts the disciples leaving their possessions, but Matthew 13:22 indicates possessions can choke the word, conflicting with the idea they could easily leave them.
Matthew 13:22: He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
Contradiction with Mark 10:31
This verse suggests that many who are first will be last and the last first, contradicting the seemingly immediate and praiseworthy actions of the disciples in Luke 5:11.
Mark 10:31: But many [that are] first shall be last; and the last first.
Contradiction with John 6:66
Here, many disciples turn back rather than follow Jesus, which contrasts with the unwavering commitment shown in Luke 5:11.
John 6:66: From that [time] many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
Paradox #1
The contradiction might be seen in the idea of leaving everything behind to follow a spiritual leader. This could be in conflict with responsibilities to family, community, or personal commitments. Some might argue that abandoning these duties is morally questionable.
