Contradiction with Matthew 7:1
This verse advises not to judge others, which may appear to contradict Titus 1:9's call for using sound doctrine to admonish those who oppose it.
Matthew 7:1: Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Contradiction with Romans 2:1
This verse states that you have no excuse to judge others, which might contradict the corrective aspect of Titus 1:9.
Romans 2:1: Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
Contradiction with James 4:12
It suggests that there is only one lawgiver and judge, seemingly opposing the directive in Titus 1:9 for humans to rebuke others who counter sound doctrine.
James 4:12: There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
Contradiction with Matthew 5:39
This verse advises turning the other cheek, which contrasts with the active reproving of others implied in Titus 1:9.
Matthew 5:39: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Contradiction with James 1:19
Encourages being slow to speak and slow to anger, which could be seen as conflicting with the directive to rebuke as in Titus 1:9.
James 1:19: Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
Contradiction with Luke 6:37
Encourages not to judge or condemn others, which may seem inconsistent with the rebuking element of Titus 1:9.
Luke 6:37: Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
Paradox #1
Titus 1:9 advises leaders to hold firmly to sound teaching and to correct those who oppose it. A potential contradiction could be that it emphasizes correcting others, which might conflict with promoting open dialogue or respecting differing beliefs. This might be seen as imposing one's viewpoint rather than fostering understanding and acceptance of diversity.
