Contradiction with Matthew 7:21

This verse emphasizes acting according to God's will, whereas Matthew 21:6 highlights the immediate obedience of the disciples without mention of discerning God's will.

Matthew 7:21: Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Contradiction with Luke 6:46

Luke 6:46: And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

Contradiction with James 1:22

This verse advises being doers of the word, not hearers only; Matthew 21:6 focuses on immediate action, leaving no room for internal reflection, potentially conflicting with the call for understanding.

James 1:22: But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

Contradiction with Titus 1:16

The verse points to professing to know God but denying Him through actions; this contradicts the clear action of the disciples in Matthew 21:6.
