Contradiction with Luke 14:26
This verse speaks about needing to "hate" one's parents to be a disciple of Christ, which contradicts the honoring and listening to parents advised in Proverbs 23:22.
Luke 14:26: If any [man] come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
Contradiction with Matthew 10:37
This verse suggests loving parents more than Jesus is unworthy of Him, which contradicts the call to listen to and respect parents in Proverbs 23:22.
Matthew 10:37: He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
Contradiction with Genesis 2:24
This verse emphasizes leaving father and mother to unite with a spouse, which can be seen as a deviation from heeding and honoring parents as stressed in Proverbs 23:22.
Genesis 2:24: Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Contradiction with Mark 3:31-35
Jesus redefines family not by biological ties but by spiritual adherence, which opposes the emphasis on listening to one's father in Proverbs 23:22.
Mark 3:31-35: There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him.
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 7:29
This verse advises that those who have wives should live as though they have none, which may undermine the importance of maintaining family ties, including listening to parents as instructed in Proverbs 23:22.
1 Corinthians 7:29: But this I say, brethren, the time [is] short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;
Paradox #1
The contradiction could be that this verse encourages honoring and listening to one's parents, but it may conflict with situations where a parent's guidance is harmful or unjust. This can create tension between following this advice and making independent, moral choices that differ from a parent's views.
