2 Peter 3:9: The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Contradiction with 1 Timothy 2:4
This verse states God "will have all men to be saved," which conflicts with the definitive separation of the wicked in Matthew 13:49.
1 Timothy 2:4: Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
Contradiction with Romans 11:32
This verse mentions that God has mercy upon all, unlike the distinct separation of wicked and just.
Romans 11:32: For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. [concluded...: or, shut them all up together]
Contradiction with Matthew 5:45
This verse indicates that God causes the sun to rise on evil and good and sends rain on just and unjust, suggesting a lack of immediate separation.
Matthew 5:45: That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Contradiction with John 12:47
This verse suggests Jesus came not to judge the world, but to save it, contrasting with the act of severing in Matthew 13:49.
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.
Paradox #1
The contradiction in this verse could be seen in the idea of separating "the wicked from the righteous," which raises questions about judgment and compassion. Some might argue it conflicts with the values of forgiveness and redemption, as it focuses on division rather than understanding or transformation.
