Check out Contradictions Catalog of Matthew 7:10 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Matthew 7:10. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Matthew, if a child asks their parent for something good like a fish to eat, the parent wouldn't give something bad like a snake instead. This shows that God will give us good things when we ask for them.

Matthew 7:10: Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

Contradiction with Luke 11:13

This verse suggests that even humans, who are inherently sinful, know how to give good gifts to their children, aligning with Matthew 7:10 rather than contradicting it.

Luke 11:13: If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall [your] heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

Contradiction with James 1:17

This verse emphasizes that every good gift is from God, harmonizing with Matthew 7:10 instead of providing a contradiction.

James 1:17: Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

Contradiction with Matthew 15:26

This verse refers to the notion that some gifts or rewards may not be meant for everyone, potentially contradicting the unconditional giving suggested in Matthew 7:10.

Matthew 15:26: But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast [it] to dogs.

Contradiction with Mark 7:27

Similar to Matthew 15:26, it speaks to prioritization and restriction of gifts or blessings, which could be seen as a contradiction to the unequivocal promise of giving in Matthew 7:10.

Mark 7:27: And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.
