Contradiction with James 1:6-7
These verses emphasize faith without doubting, contradicting the idea of requesting the aid of prayer from others through struggle, as in Romans 15:30, implying community reliance versus individual faith.
James 1:6-7: But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
Contradiction with Philippians 4:6
This verse emphasizes presenting requests to God personally through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, which could be seen as less reliant on others' prayers unlike Romans 15:30.
Philippians 4:6: Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Contradiction with Matthew 6:6
This verse encourages personal prayer in solitude, suggesting a private relationship with God that might seem contrary to Paul’s request for communal prayer support in Romans 15:30.
Matthew 6:6: But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
