Contradiction with Psalm 103:8
This verse describes God as merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy, which contrasts with the tone of Jesus expressing frustration in Luke 9:41.
Psalm 103:8: The LORD [is] merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. [plentious...: Heb. great in mercy]
Contradiction with Matthew 11:28-29
These verses invite the weary to come to Jesus for rest, emphasizing gentleness and lowliness, seemingly conflicting with the rebuke in Luke 9:41.
Matthew 11:28-29: Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Contradiction with James 1:5
This verse promises wisdom to those who ask God faithfully, which contrasts with Jesus' frustration over a lack of faith in Luke 9:41.
James 1:5: If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 13:4-5
These verses describe love as patient and kind, which appears to contradict Jesus' expression of exasperation in Luke 9:41.
1 Corinthians 13:4-5: Charity suffereth long, [and] is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, [vaunteth...: or, is not rash]
Paradox #1
The potential moral inconsistency in Luke 9:41 could be seen in how it portrays impatience or frustration in response to a lack of faith. Some might view this as conflicting with the general message of compassion and understanding found elsewhere in the Bible. However, interpretations can vary widely, and some see it as emphasizing the importance of faith.
