Contradiction with Acts 5:29
This verse states that we ought to obey God rather than men, which contradicts the implication in Matthew 17:26 that the sons (representing Jesus and His followers) are exempt from earthly taxes or duties.
Acts 5:29: Then Peter and the [other] apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
Contradiction with Romans 13:7
This verse commands to render to all their dues, including tribute and custom, which could be seen as opposing the implication of exemption mentioned in Matthew 17:26.
Romans 13:7: Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute [is due]; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
Contradiction with Matthew 22:21
This verse instructs to render unto Caesar what is Caesar's, which can be contrasted with the exemption implied in Matthew 17:26.
Matthew 22:21: When they had heard [these words], they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.
Paradox #1
This verse involves a situation where Jesus discusses paying taxes, suggesting that as children of a king are exempt from taxes, the followers of God might also be seen as exempt from earthly obligations. This could lead to a potential contradiction or conflict about whether believers should adhere to secular laws and responsibilities, such as paying taxes, versus considering themselves above such obligations due to their spiritual beliefs.
