Contradiction with Galatians 3:28
This verse emphasizes equality, stating there is neither male nor female in Christ, which contradicts the hierarchical decision-making authority suggested in Numbers 30:12.
Galatians 3:28: There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Contradiction with Matthew 5:37
Jesus encourages straightforward honesty without the need for vows or oaths, which contrasts with the conditional nullification of vows described in Numbers 30:12.
Matthew 5:37: But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
Contradiction with James 5:12
Advises against making vows, suggesting simplicity in speech, contrasting with the system of vows and annulment in Numbers 30:12.
James 5:12: But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and [your] nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
Contradiction with Isaiah 55:11
Asserts the unwavering fulfillment of God's word, which could be seen as contradicting the annulment of vows permitted in Numbers 30:12.
Isaiah 55:11: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper [in the thing] whereto I sent it.
Paradox #1
The potential doctrinal conflict might arise from differing views on the roles and authority within family dynamics, as the verse can be seen to support a hierarchical structure where a husband's authority can override a wife's vow. This could conflict with modern views on gender equality and mutual decision-making in partnerships.
