Contradiction with 1 John 5:12
Asserts that eternal life is secured through the Son, seemingly contradicting the conditional nature of not being blotted out in Revelation 3:5.
1 John 5:12: He that hath the Son hath life; [and] he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
Contradiction with John 6:37
States that anyone who comes to Jesus will never be cast out, contrasting the risk of being removed from the Book of Life implied in Revelation 3:5.
John 6:37: All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
Contradiction with Romans 8:38-39
Claims nothing can separate us from the love of God, conflicting with the implication of conditional salvation in Revelation 3:5.
Romans 8:38-39: For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Contradiction with John 10:28
Promises eternal security that no one can pluck believers out of Jesus' hand, differing from the potential blotting out in Revelation 3:5.
John 10:28: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any [man] pluck them out of my hand.
Paradox #1
Revelation 3:5 could present a moral inconsistency because it suggests conditional acceptance based on behavior or actions, which might conflict with the idea of unconditional love or grace that is also taught in other parts of the Bible. This could create confusion about whether assurance of acceptance is truly unconditional or based on specific actions.
