Contradiction with 1 John 4:18
This verse speaks of perfect love casting out fear, which could be seen as contradictory since in Luke 8:28 the demon-possessed man reacts with fear upon seeing Jesus.
1 John 4:18: There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
Contradiction with Exodus 20:3
Advocates for having no other gods, in contrast to the acknowledgment of Jesus' divine power by the demon in Luke 8:28.
Exodus 20:3: Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Contradiction with James 2:19
Indicates that even demons believe in God and shudder, aligning with Luke 8:28 but contrasting with the general idea of persuasive faith rather than recognition and fear.
James 2:19: Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
Contradiction with Matthew 8:29
This verse expresses demons questioning Jesus in fear of premature judgment, similar in context but contrasting the broader scriptural narrative of Christ bringing peace rather than fear.
Matthew 8:29: And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 14:33
States that God is not the author of confusion, which contrasts with the chaotic and frenzied plea in Luke 8:28 when the demon recognized Jesus.
1 Corinthians 14:33: For God is not [the author] of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. [confusion: Gr. tumult, or, unquietness]
