Contradiction with Matthew 18:27
This verse shows the act of forgiveness, similar to Luke 7:42, but emphasizes compassion as the motivation, not the inability to repay.
Matthew 18:27: Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
Contradiction with Matthew 25:28
Here, those with less are punished, contradicting the forgiveness of debt in Luke 7:42.
Matthew 25:28: Take therefore the talent from him, and give [it] unto him which hath ten talents.
Contradiction with Romans 13:8
This verse emphasizes not owing anything to anyone, whereas Luke 7:42 discusses forgiving debt.
Romans 13:8: Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
Contradiction with Proverbs 22:7
Suggests that borrowers are servants to lenders, contrasting with the idea of debt being forgiven in Luke 7:42.
Proverbs 22:7: The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower [is] servant to the lender. [the lender: Heb. the man that lendeth]
Contradiction with Galatians 6:7
Stresses the idea of reaping what you sow, which contradicts with the concept of unconditional debt forgiveness in Luke 7:42.
Galatians 6:7: Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Paradox #1
The potential contradiction or conflict could arise from the idea of forgiving debts or wrongdoings, as this might be seen as unfair to those who have repaid their debts or not committed wrongs. People could question why some receive forgiveness easily while others diligently fulfill their obligations.
