Contradiction with Matthew 13:11
Matthew 13:11 suggests that certain truths are revealed only to specific people, contradicting Luke 8:17's claim of everything being revealed.
Matthew 13:11: He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
Contradiction with Mark 4:11
Mark 4:11 indicates that the mysteries of the kingdom of God are not meant for everyone, opposing the idea in Luke 8:17 that all things will be made manifest.
Mark 4:11: And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all [these] things are done in parables:
Paradox #1
Some people might see a contradiction between this verse, which suggests that all hidden things will eventually be revealed, and other parts of the Bible that emphasize God’s forgiveness and forgetfulness of sins. If all things are revealed, some might question how sins can truly be forgiven and forgotten. However, others interpret these ideas as complementary, where God's ultimate justice works alongside His mercy.
Paradox #2
One potential contradiction in this verse could be the idea of privacy versus transparency. The verse suggests that everything hidden will eventually be revealed, which might conflict with the value of individuals having a right to keep certain matters private. Balancing the importance of honesty and truth with the necessity of personal boundaries could create a tension in how this message is interpreted in real-life situations.
