Contradiction with Matthew 19:26
While Matthew 6:27 suggests limitations on human capability, Matthew 19:26 emphasizes that with God, all things are possible, implying no limitations exist.
Matthew 19:26: But Jesus beheld [them], and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
Contradiction with Philippians 4:13
This verse contradicts the notion of limitation in Matthew 6:27 by asserting that through Christ, individuals can achieve all things, indicating empowerment rather than restriction.
Philippians 4:13: I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Contradiction with Mark 11:24
In contrast to Matthew 6:27's emphasis on human limitation, this verse underscores the power of belief, suggesting that whatever is asked for in prayer, if believed, can be received, indicating a lack of earthly limitations.
Mark 11:24: Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive [them], and ye shall have [them].
Contradiction with Luke 1:37
This verse opposes the message in Matthew 6:27 by stating that nothing is impossible with God, contradicting the idea of unchangeable human limitation portrayed in the former verse.
Luke 1:37: For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or conflict could arise from the implication that worrying is futile, which might seem at odds with the natural human tendency to plan and prepare for the future. Some might argue that caution and concern are necessary for responsible living, creating tension between the encouragement to avoid worry and the need to be proactive about potential issues.
