Contradiction with Matthew 5:39
Matthew 5:39 advises to turn the other cheek, promoting patience and forgiveness, rather than shaking off the dust as a form of rejection in Matthew 10:14.
Matthew 5:39: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Contradiction with Matthew 18:21-22
These verses emphasize forgiving others repeatedly, contrasting with Matthew 10:14's instruction to leave and reject those who do not welcome or listen.
Matthew 18:21-22: Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
Contradiction with Luke 10:5-6
Here, Jesus instructs to offer peace to a house, suggesting persistence in sharing God's blessings, rather than leaving if unwelcome as in Matthew 10:14.
Luke 10:5-6: And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace [be] to this house.
Contradiction with James 5:19-20
Encourages believers to help save others who wander from the truth, which contrasts with the directive to shake off the dust and leave in Matthew 10:14.
James 5:19-20: Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;
Contradiction with Romans 12:17-18
Advises to live peaceably with all, even if they oppose you, which contrasts with the rejection of those who do not receive you in Matthew 10:14.
Romans 12:17-18: Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
Paradox #1
One possible theological conflict could be the contrast between this verse and the teachings about forgiveness and persistent love found elsewhere in the Bible. Some might see a tension between shaking off dust and the idea of continually showing grace and love to others, even when they reject or oppose you.
Paradox #2
The contradiction in this verse could be the idea of abandoning or giving up on people who do not accept a certain message, conflicting with other teachings about compassion, patience, and perseverance when dealing with others. This can seem at odds with the broader emphasis on unconditional love and forgiveness.
