Contradiction with Matthew 7:11
Matthew 7:9 implies that fathers give good gifts to their children, while Matthew 7:11 suggests that even those considered evil know how to give good gifts, which contrasts with the idea of always giving good gifts.
Matthew 7:11: If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
Contradiction with Luke 11:13
Matthew 7:9 talks about earthly fathers giving good gifts, whereas Luke 11:13 indicates that the best gift is from the heavenly Father, potentially suggesting a deficiency or limitation in earthly gifts.
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 4:3
While Matthew 7:9 suggests receiving what is asked for, James 4:3 notes that people ask and do not receive because they ask with wrong motives, which can be seen as a conflict with the simplicity of receiving in Matthew 7:9.
James 4:3: Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume [it] upon your lusts. [lusts: or, pleasures]
Paradox #1
Some people might see a contradiction with other parts of the Bible that talk about not always getting what you ask for from God or that emphasize the idea of suffering and trials as part of the Christian experience. These might seem inconsistent with the idea of receiving good things when you ask. However, interpretations can vary, and context is important in understanding these teachings together.
