Contradiction with Matthew 6:26
This verse speaks about how birds are provided for by God, which contradicts Mark 4:4 where birds eat the seeds sown by the wayside, suggesting a negative outcome.
Matthew 6:26: Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
Contradiction with Isaiah 55:10-11
This verse explains that God's word will accomplish what it is sent out to do, whereas Mark 4:4 implies that the seeds, representing the word, are taken away and do not accomplish anything.
Isaiah 55:10-11: For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
Contradiction with John 10:28
This verse assures us that no one can snatch away what God has given, while Mark 4:4 illustrates the birds taking away the seeds, symbolizing how the word can be snatched away from those by the wayside.
John 10:28: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any [man] pluck them out of my hand.
Contradiction with Psalm 91:11-12
This verse describes how God's angels will protect you, contrasting with Mark 4:4 where protection for the sown seeds seems absent, allowing birds to eat them.
