Contradictions and Paradoxes in Romans 3:3

Check out Contradictions Catalog of Romans 3:3 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Romans 3:3. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Paul, even if some people don't believe in God, it doesn't change how strong and true God's promise and love are. God's faithfulness is not affected by what people believe or don't believe.

Romans 3:3: For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?

Contradiction with 1 John 4:8

While Romans 3:3 implies God's faithfulness is unaffected by human unbelief, this verse emphasizes God as love, suggesting His actions may be influenced by His relational nature.

1 John 4:8: He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

Contradiction with James 1:6-7

Romans 3:3 highlights unwavering divine faithfulness despite human unbelief, but these verses suggest a lack of personal faith affects one's relationship with God and the outcomes received.

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 Matthew 9:29

This verse emphasizes that faith influences divine action ("according to your faith be it unto you"), which can seem contradictory to the implication in Romans 3:3 that God's faithfulness doesn't depend on human belief.

Matthew 9:29: Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.

Contradiction with Hebrews 11:6

States that faith is essential to please God and to receive rewards from Him, potentially contradicting the idea in Romans 3:3 that God's faithfulness continues regardless of human faith.

Hebrews 11:6: But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Contradiction with Mark 9:23

Suggests that belief is necessary for all things to be possible, which may seem at odds with the notion in Romans 3:3 about divine faithfulness being unaffected by human unbelief.

Mark 9:23: Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things [are] possible to him that believeth.
