Contradiction with Deuteronomy 32:39
This verse emphasizes that God alone decides life and death, implying that human interventions (like healings) are secondary or irrelevant.

Contradiction with 2 Kings 20:1-6
This passage describes God instructing Hezekiah to prepare for death but later extends his life, suggesting that divine will, not human healing or intervention, is the true determinant.
2 Kings 20:1-6: In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live. [Set...: Heb. Give charge concerning thine house]
Contradiction with Mark 6:5
Jesus is described as unable to perform miracles in his hometown due to their lack of faith, indicating a limitation that contrasts with the unrestricted healing in Matthew 4:24.
Mark 6:5: And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed [them].
Contradiction with John 9:2-3
This passage indicates that ailments might exist to show God's works rather than be inherently negative, contrasting with the assumption that all maladies should be cured as in Matthew 4:24.
John 9:2-3: And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
Contradiction with 2 Corinthians 12:7-9

2 Corinthians 12:7-9: And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
