Contradiction with Matthew 10:37
This verse stresses the importance of prioritizing love for Jesus over familial relationships, which contrasts with the idea of doing the will of God as being part of Jesus' family.
Matthew 10:37: He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
Contradiction with Luke 14:26
This verse suggests hating one's own family in comparison to love for Jesus, contradicting the notion of familial bonds based on doing the will of God.
Luke 14:26: If any [man] come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
Contradiction with John 7:5
This verse indicates Jesus' own brothers did not believe in him, contradicting the concept that doing the will of God makes one part of Jesus' family.
John 7:5: For neither did his brethren believe in him.
Contradiction with Matthew 19:29
This verse suggests abandoning family for Jesus' sake, contrasting with the inclusion into Jesus' family through doing God's will.
Matthew 19:29: And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
Paradox #1
The verse suggests that anyone who does God's will is considered Jesus' family, which could seem to conflict with ideas emphasizing the unique, special status of Jesus’ biological family or traditional concepts of family lineage. This might challenge beliefs about the importance of blood relations in establishing spiritual relationships.
Paradox #2
One possible contradiction with this verse could be the idea that it prioritizes spiritual relationships over biological family ties. This might create tension for those who believe in the importance of family loyalty and obligations, as it suggests that doing God's will is more important than maintaining traditional family bonds.
