Contradiction with Psalm 1:3
This verse speaks of a righteous man being like a tree planted by the rivers of water that brings forth fruit in season, which contrasts with Matthew 15:13’s notion of plants not planted by the heavenly Father being uprooted.
Psalm 1:3: And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. [wither: Heb. fade]
Contradiction with Isaiah 60:21
This verse states that the people shall inherit the land forever as a branch of God’s planting, contradicting Matthew 15:13 by suggesting God's plantings are lasting and not subject to uprooting.
Isaiah 60:21: Thy people also [shall be] all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.
Contradiction with John 15:5
Jesus describes himself as the vine and his followers as the branches, emphasizing connection and growth, which contrasts with the idea from Matthew 15:13 of non-divine plantings being uprooted.
John 15:5: I am the vine, ye [are] the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. [without me: or, severed from me]
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 3:6-7
These verses discuss God giving growth, suggesting divine involvement in growth and establishment, contrasting with Matthew 15:13's concept of uprooting plants not planted by God.
1 Corinthians 3:6-7: I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or inconsistency might arise from the idea of exclusion. The verse suggests that some things or people are not meant to last or be accepted, which may conflict with the broader message of love and acceptance in other parts of the Bible. This could lead to confusion about who or what should be accepted or rejected.
