Contradiction with Matthew 7:7

Contradiction with John 14:13

John 14:13: And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
Contradiction with Luke 11:9-10
This verse emphasizes the effectiveness of asking and seeking, contrasting with the response depicted in Matthew 15:23.

Contradiction with Mark 11:24

Mark 11:24: Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive [them], and ye shall have [them].
Contradiction with James 1:5
This verse indicates that God gives wisdom to those who ask without reproach, contrary to the silence in Matthew 15:23.
James 1:5: If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Contradiction with John 15:7

Paradox #1
The moral conflict in this verse might be seen in how Jesus initially ignores someone in need, which could seem unkind or indifferent. This might seem inconsistent with the teaching of showing love and compassion to everyone.
