According to Matthew, Jesus will send his angels to gather and remove everything bad and all people who do wrong things from his kingdom, like picking out weeds from a garden. This means Jesus wants his kingdom to be a good and happy place without anything that can hurt or upset others.

Matthew 13:41: The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; [things...: or, scandals]

Contradiction with John 12:47

In John 12:47, Jesus states He did not come to judge the world but to save it, which contrasts with Matthew 13:41 where it is implied that judgment will occur as angels remove all things that offend.

John 12:47: And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

Contradiction with Luke 9:56

Luke 9:56 suggests that the Son of Man has not come to destroy men's lives but to save them, contradicting the active removal of sinners described in Matthew 13:41.

Luke 9:56: For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save [them]. And they went to another village.

Contradiction with James 4:12

James 4:12 states there is one lawgiver who is able to save and to destroy, yet it suggests leaving judgment to God alone, conflicting with Matthew 13:41 which depicts an imminent act of separation and judgment.

James 4:12: There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?

Paradox #1

Matthew 13:41 discusses separating out those who cause sin and do evil. A potential contradiction could be the idea of judging and punishing people for their actions, which conflicts with other teachings in the Bible about forgiveness and compassion. This raises the question of how to balance justice with mercy.
