Biblical Contradictions - Contrary Things

Bible Contradictions: Law vs Grace: contrary things can't co-exist in peace.
Don't mix, but dare to compare: comparing spiritual things with spiritual, then flush one.

His Angel plays the Last Trump it

Bible Contradictions Do not Mix!

So then don't mix law vs grace, but compare.
Mixing contrary things makes an oxymoron.
The exhortation is to compare, not mix such:
"Comparing spiritual things with spiritual".

 Law: is spiritual; But spiritual abuse.
Grace: is spiritual, but never abusive.

Biblical Contradictions

Let us not ignore, nor mix, contrary things.
Rather let us dare to compare law vs grace.

List of  Bible Contradictions - Biblical Contradictions  is below.

Note: GodShew.Org does not fall short, explain all but four or five as some,
Eg: James W Knox explains contradictions, as if teaching first, learning after;
But goes on to explain all the biblical contradictions any people have noticed.

Eg: Warfare or Peace ?   Peace !
   Exodus 15:3 The LORD [is] a man of war: the LORD [is] his name.
    Matthew 10:34 I came not to send peace, but a sword.
    Luke 12:51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth?... Nay; rather division:
    John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth
    Romans 15:33 Now the God of peace [be] with you all. Amen.
    Ephesians 2:14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one...
    1Timothy 1:8 This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies                             which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare.

The LORD(LAW) in Exodus 15:3 is not the God(Grace) in Romans 15:33, for God(Grace) is not a man that he should lie(law): Numbers 23:19. Furthermore the LORD(sevens for sacrifice) is not God(two to keep seed alive) in the story of Noah's Ark. Ok, LORD isn't God in some cases, and there's two LORDs to sort out as well as two Gods; But what about obvious Bible contradictions of war (sword, division, not peace, warfare) and peace (but not as the world giveth)? What about putting on the whole armour of God in Ephesians 6? What for, if not for war? Again clarity is required, remembering it's allegory and mysteries to solve; So then allegoric mysteries to solve by seek and find the allegory clues to connect the biblical dots, find grace in time, to help solve the mysteries.
Christ: is the mend of the law -or- the end of the law?
Christ is NOT the mend of the law: Matthew 9: 16 & 17 !
Christ is the end of the law: Romans 10:4; Ephesians 2:15 !

Let us perceive there was division among the people, and it was notably because of Jesus: John 7:43; 9:16. Yet such is before the cross, not after. After the cross it's peace, not divided: Luke 24:36; John 16:33; 1Cor; Eph 2. Yet even before the cross there is much talk of peace. Eg: to the storm he said "Peace, be still", and there was a great(law) calm: Mark 4:39. However, for more clarity he "rebuked the wind(spirit)" and "spoke to the sea(humanity)". And for even more clarity there is false(law) peace that is temporal, and there is true(grace) peace that is eternal. Law vs Law is not peace, but division; And any kingdom, king thereof, nation, person thereof, or house thereof, divided against itself, shall fall, to desolation(law: ruin, perdition, destruction, etc). And falling is notably from grace to law: Galatians 5:4, as from Christ to Jesus; From right hand (grace) of higher God to L/R "hands" (law vs law) of God on high, and then it's notably fearful: Hebrews 10:31, which is to say torment full, since "fear hath torment", which is why perfect love hath no fear, pure grace hath no law, pure light hath no darkness, and true peace hath no war(division).
It always boils down to law <--or--> grace.
It always boils down to division -or- unity.
"Mark" & "Avoid" them causing divisions.
Allegory: mark & avoid them causing laws.

As Charity "never fails" is notably above forgiving one another, Grace is above all law vs law sides wars and above law vs grace blame games. His Grace neither makes nor takes sides, since all sides wars have side effects to both sides, the most notable side effect of both physical(natural) and verbal(spiritual) wars being death. Grace cannot lie(law) nor die(law). Grace neither tempts(laws) nor can be tempted(lawed). Law Law does both. So let us put away both the OT Law (Moses' Seat) and the NT Law (Jesus' Standing and Sitting, waiting for his enemies to be scattered and destroyed by the Ghost, the unpardonable Law thereof, the ministration of condemnation and death, when sin imputed); For sin(law), when "it is finished", [it] brings forth death, not life: James 1:15. On the contrary, no law = no sin imputed = no death sting = no dead end: John 17: 4 ... Romans 4:15 ... Romans 5:13 ... 1Corinthans 15:56 ... the grace only conclusion of all Pauline Epistles, including Hebrews and Revelation  authored by Paul: his witness unto all men.

Fight Law -or- Flush Law ?   If it is Dung, Flush it !
I fought the law and the law won: Seven Sons of Sceva.
I flushed law as dung and grace won: Paul The Apostle.

Eg: God dwells in light -vs- LORD dwells in darkness
1Timothy 6:16 -vs- 1Kings 8:12; Psalms 18:11;Psalms 97:2
 
1Timothy 6:14-16 "keep [this] commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:Which in his times he shall shew, [who is] the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom [be] honour and power everlasting. Amen.
1 Kings 8: 10-12 "it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy [place], that the cloud filled the house of the LORD, So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD. Then spake Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness".
Psalms 18: 6-11 "In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God ... He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him [were] dark waters"
Psalms 97:1-2 "The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad [thereof]. Clouds and darkness [are] round about him: righteousness and judgment [are] the habitation of his throne.
1John 1:5 "This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all".

The clarity achieved by "comparing" these biblical contradictions is simply derived by "comparing" this God -vs- that God, comparing LORD -vs- LORD, and contrary commandments of "the LORD" -vs- "God"  in the Noah's Ark allegory; And comparing "the day of the LORD" -vs- "the day of God" in 2Peter 3: which also reminds us to be not ignorant, especially of this thing, of this AND that said: 1 day [is] as 1000 yrs AND 1000 yrs [is] as 1 day. And especially be not willingly ignorant (awful lawful): which is notably how the first of two allegoric worlds of this/that Gods "perished" (for as Paul: "his witness unto all men" clarifies: by using of laws all perish: Colossians 2:20-22).

It's as comparing "God on high" in "heavens" -vs higher "God" in "heaven": "higher than the heavens". The POINT being that Grace is not Law Law. Grace is "higher" and smarter("sharper") than Law Law ("twoedged sword"), since Law is divided against itself: Law vs Law, is as Loser vs Loser. The Point: there are no winners at all in such an accusational blame games, especially when being right to make others wrong, if we all are one. Selah.

I like to prove things. As such I do some strange things, like drive around with no seat belt, license (tag), driver's license, or insurance, give no place to such laws, to see if how the Merlin movie ends actually works. It did. After a year of honking and waving at police cars I met, I finally got stopped by a rookie cop who noticed I had my seat belt dragging on the ground to make it obvious. I was nice to him, but steadfast in my experiment. After finding I also had no license (tag had expired), no driver's license (I also let it expire) and no insurance, he went back to his car, sat there a long time, then simply drove off. I heard his version later since my daughter worked night shift at police phones. He told her of a man that freaked him out, and let him go since the paper work on such would've been unbearable. My daughter fell off her chair laughing, knowing he'd described me, told him he did the right thing (he'd lose in court, where they still have the Holy Bible, which flat out states law has expired, been abolished).

Insufficient Law: Not Sufficient: Therefore Not Required

 
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.
