Contradiction with Matthew 16:28
This verse suggests some will not die before seeing the kingdom, while Luke 9:31 actually describes Moses and Elijah discussing Jesus' departure, specifically His death, which implies the completion of His earthly mission.
Matthew 16:28: Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
Contradiction with John 12:34
The people express confusion about the idea of the Messiah (Christ) having to die, contradicting the discussion of Jesus’ departure and fulfillment at Jerusalem in Luke 9:31.
John 12:34: The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?
Contradiction with 1 Thessalonians 4:17
This verse describes believers being taken up to meet the Lord in the air; it is more futuristic and does not align with the imminent discussion of Christ’s departure in Luke 9:31.
1 Thessalonians 4:17: Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Contradiction with Acts 1:7
Jesus emphasizes the uncertain timing of the kingdom's restoration, whereas Luke 9:31 speaks of a specific event in Jesus’ life and mission that they were discussing.
Acts 1:7: And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
