Contradiction with James 1:13
This verse says God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempts He any man, contradicting Matthew 6:13's phrase "lead us not into temptation," which implies God might lead people into temptation.
James 1:13: Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: [evil: or, evils]
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 10:13
This verse states that God will not suffer you to be tempted above your ability, but Matthew 6:13's plea suggests a concern about being led into temptation.
1 Corinthians 10:13: There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God [is] faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear [it]. [common...: or, moderate]
Contradiction with Luke 22:40
Instructs to pray not to enter into temptation, suggesting a different approach than simply being led into temptation, subtly contradicts the plea in Matthew 6:13.
Luke 22:40: And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
Paradox #1
Some people see a contradiction in this verse because it asks for protection from temptation or testing, while other parts of the Bible suggest that God does not lead people into temptation. This can seem inconsistent with the idea of a loving and just God.
Paradox #2
Some people see a contradiction in Matthew 6:13 because it asks God not to lead us into temptation. They wonder why God would lead people into temptation if He is good. However, many believe it's a request for protection from difficult trials or tests rather than implying that God would actively lead someone into wrongdoing.
Paradox #3
Some people think there's a contradiction because the verse talks about not being led into temptation. They wonder why a good force would lead anyone into temptation in the first place. It seems to clash with the idea of a loving guide who protects and supports.
