Contradiction with Luke 23:34
This verse speaks of Jesus asking for forgiveness for those who crucified Him, which contrasts with the concept of punishment in Matthew 24:51.
Luke 23:34: Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
Contradiction with 2 Peter 3:9
This verse highlights God's patience and desire for repentance rather than judgment, which contradicts the depiction of severe judgment in Matthew 24:51.
2 Peter 3:9: The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Contradiction with Ezekiel 18:32
This verse expresses that God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked, contradicting the punishment aspect of Matthew 24:51.
Ezekiel 18:32: For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn [yourselves], and live ye. [yourselves: or, others]
Contradiction with James 2:13
This verse speaks to mercy triumphing over judgment, which conflicts with the idea of severe punishment in Matthew 24:51.
James 2:13: For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment. [rejoiceth: or, glorieth]
Paradox #1
The contradiction in Matthew 24:51 could be seen as the harsh punishment described, which may seem inconsistent with the idea of a loving and forgiving God. This could be seen as conflicting with the teachings of mercy and compassion found elsewhere in the Bible.
