Check out Contradictions Catalog of Matthew 24:35 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Matthew 24:35. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Matthew, Jesus is saying that everything we see around us, like the sky and the ground, might one day disappear, but what He says will always be true and last forever. So, Jesus wants us to remember that His words are very important and will never go away.

Matthew 24:35: Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

Contradiction with Isaiah 40:8

It states that "the word of our God shall stand for ever," which may be seen as a contradiction if one takes "heaven and earth" in Matthew 24:35 to symbolize enduring entities, yet they are said to pass away.

Isaiah 40:8: The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

Contradiction with 2 Peter 3:10

Describes the day of the Lord where "the heavens shall pass away with a great noise," which contradicts the eternal aspect depicted in "my words shall not pass away" if interpreted as implying no lasting change.

2 Peter 3:10: But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

Contradiction with Revelation 21:1

Mentions a new heaven and a new earth, implying that the old ones would pass away, which could seem contrary if Matthew 24:35 is seen as suggesting all creation endures permanently.

Revelation 21:1: And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
