Contradictions and Paradoxes in Luke 5:24

Check out Contradictions Catalog of Luke 5:24 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Luke 5:24. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Luke, Jesus shows that he has God's power to forgive people for the wrong things they've done. He proves this by healing a man who couldn't walk, telling him to get up and go home.

Luke 5:24: But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.

Contradiction with James 5:15

James 5:15 emphasizes that faith alone can heal the sick, seemingly downplaying the unique authority of Jesus to forgive sins on earth, which Luke 5:24 asserts.

James 5:15: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

Contradiction with Hebrews 10:4

This verse states that it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins, contrasting with the claim in Luke 5:24 that Jesus has the power to forgive sins directly.

Hebrews 10:4: For [it is] not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

Paradox #1

Some people might see a contradiction in this verse related to Jesus's authority. While some believe only God has the power to forgive sins, this verse shows Jesus also forgiving sins, which can lead to discussions about his divine nature and authority. This could create a conflict in understanding who can truly forgive sins according to different theological interpretations.
