Contradiction with Matthew 4:7
This verse advises not to test God, contrasting with Peter's act of testing Jesus by walking on water in Matthew 14:29.
Matthew 4:7: Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. [tempt: or, try, or, put to trial, or, proof]
Contradiction with John 20:29
Contrasts with the necessity of seeing miracles in Matthew 14:29, emphasizing belief without seeing.
John 20:29: Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed [are] they that have not seen, and [yet] have believed.
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 6:16
Warns against putting the Lord to the test, which can be seen as contrary to Peter testing Jesus' command in Matthew 14:29 by walking on water.
Deuteronomy 6:16: Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted [him] in Massah.
Contradiction with 2 Corinthians 5:7
Encourages living by faith, not by sight, which contradicts Peter needing to see physical signs (walking on water) as in Matthew 14:29.
2 Corinthians 5:7: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
Contradiction with Isaiah 7:12
King Ahaz refuses to ask for a sign, differing from Peter's response to Jesus' invitation to walk on water in Matthew 14:29.
Isaiah 7:12: But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD.
Paradox #1
The event described involves walking on water, which contradicts the laws of physics. According to science, liquids like water do not provide enough support for a person to walk on them without sinking due to gravity.
