Contradiction with Matthew 5:19
This verse emphasizes the importance of obeying and teaching even the least of the commandments, contrary to giving selective commandments.
Matthew 5:19: Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Contradiction with Luke 16:17
This verse states that it is easier for heaven and earth to pass than for one tittle of the law to fail, stressing the importance of all commandments.
Luke 16:17: And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
Contradiction with Romans 6:14
This verse suggests that believers are not under the law but under grace, which contradicts the necessity of following the commandments as stated in Mark 10:19.
Romans 6:14: For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Contradiction with Galatians 2:16
This verse argues that a person is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, which contradicts adherence to commandments.
Galatians 2:16: Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Contradiction with Galatians 3:10
This verse claims that those who rely on the law are under a curse, contradicting the implication that following commandments leads to life.
Galatians 3:10: For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
Contradiction with James 2:10
This verse supports the idea that breaking any part of the law is equivalent to breaking all of it, contrasting the selective list of commandments presented in Mark 10:19.
James 2:10: For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one [point], he is guilty of all.
Paradox #1
Mark 10:19 lists commandments, but the order or selection slightly differs from the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5. Some may see it as inconsistent with the traditional order or content.
Paradox #2
The contradiction or conflict in Mark 10:19 might arise from the fact that, in certain situations, strictly following the commandment to not lie could conflict with protecting someone from harm. This could lead to a moral dilemma about whether it's more important to be truthful or to ensure someone's safety.
