Contradiction with Matthew 7:1
This verse, "Judge not, that ye be not judged," contradicts Titus 1:10's characterization of certain individuals as deceivers, implying judgment.
Matthew 7:1: Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Contradiction with Romans 14:13
This verse advises, "Let us not therefore judge one another any more," which contrasts with the judgmental tone towards "vain talkers and deceivers" in Titus 1:10.
Romans 14:13: Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in [his] brother's way.
Contradiction with James 4:11
"Speak not evil one of another, brethren," this admonition conflicts with the negative labeling found in Titus 1:10.
James 4:11: Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of [his] brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 4:5
Contradicting Titus 1:10's judgment, this verse advises, "judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come."
1 Corinthians 4:5: Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
Contradiction with James 5:9
"Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned," contrasts with Titus 1:10's critical view of certain individuals.
James 5:9: Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door. [Grudge not: or, Groan, or, Grieve not]
Paradox #1
Titus 1:10 criticizes certain people for being rebellious and deceitful. The contradiction could arise if one considers the principles of love and forgiveness taught elsewhere in the Bible. This verse seems judgmental and could conflict with the idea of approaching others with understanding and compassion.
