Contradiction with Isaiah 43:25
This verse states that God alone forgives sins, while Mark 2:9 implies that Jesus can forgive sins, which may be seen as a contradiction.
Isaiah 43:25: I, [even] I, [am] he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
Contradiction with Mark 2:7
This verse questions who can forgive sins but God only, contrasting with Mark 2:9, where Jesus forgives sins.
Mark 2:7: Why doth this [man] thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
Contradiction with John 10:33
This verse accuses Jesus of blasphemy for making Himself God, which contrasts with Mark 2:9 where Jesus demonstrates divine authority to forgive sins.
John 10:33: The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
Paradox #1
Mark 2:9 presents a situation where Jesus demonstrates authority and power by forgiving sins and healing a paralyzed man. The moral conflict here could arise from some people's belief that only God can forgive sins, and they might question Jesus' claim or authority to do so. This can lead to a perception of inconsistency if someone doesn't accept Jesus as having divine authority.
