Contradiction with Proverbs 3:5

Proverbs 3:5: Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Contradiction with James 1:6
This verse advocates for unwavering faith without doubt, yet Mark 8:25 involves a second touch from Jesus, which might suggest an incomplete healing initially.

2 Corinthians 5:7: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
Contradiction with Matthew 17:20
Suggests that faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains, implying immediacy in faith's effects, contrasting with the gradual healing process in Mark 8:25.

Contradiction with John 14:13-14
Promises that whatever is asked in Jesus' name will be done, implying immediacy and completeness, contrasting with the two-step healing in Mark 8:25.
John 14:13-14: And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
Contradiction with Hebrews 11:1
Defines faith as assurance and conviction of things not seen, whereas Mark 8:25 involves a physical manifestation of healing through a repeated act.
Hebrews 11:1: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. [substance: or, ground, or, confidence]
Contradiction with Luke 17:6
Discusses the power of faith, suggesting immediate results, unlike the staged healing demonstrated in Mark 8:25.
