Contradiction with James 4:6
This verse states that God gives grace to the humble, contrasting with Numbers 22:15 where Balak sends more honorable princes to induce Balaam's pride and desires.
James 4:6: But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
Contradiction with Proverbs 16:18
This verse teaches that pride goes before a fall, conflicting with Balak's strategy in sending more honorable messengers in Numbers 22:15, which appeals to Balaam's pride.
Proverbs 16:18: Pride [goeth] before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Contradiction with Matthew 6:24
This verse says no one can serve two masters, highlighting the contradiction with Numbers 22:15 where Balaam is torn between serving God and succumbing to Balak's incentives.
Matthew 6:24: No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Contradiction with Acts 5:29
This verse advocates obeying God rather than men, contrasting with Balaam's willingness to entertain Balak's offer in Numbers 22:15 despite God's earlier instruction.
Acts 5:29: Then Peter and the [other] apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
Contradiction with Galatians 1:10
This verse implies serving Christ rather than seeking to please people, opposing Balaam's consideration of Balak's persistent requests in Numbers 22:15.
Galatians 1:10: For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
