Contradiction with James 2:24
This verse emphasizes that a person is justified by works and not by faith only, contradicting Romans 5:2 which emphasizes grace and faith as the means to access God.
James 2:24: Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Contradiction with Galatians 2:16
This verse highlights that a person is not justified by the works of the law, suggesting a similar concept to faith, yet it underscores the necessity of works contrary to solely faith-based access.
Galatians 2:16: Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Contradiction with Matthew 7:21
This verse indicates that not everyone who professes faith will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only those who do the will of God, putting emphasis on actions in contrast to the grace and faith highlighted in Romans 5:2.
Matthew 7:21: Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Contradiction with Hebrews 11:6
This verse states that without faith it is impossible to please God, which might seem contradictory because Romans 5:2 suggests that faith leads us into grace, yet Hebrews emphasizes the necessity of continual faith beyond initial 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.
