Is There Any Verse in the Bible That Denied What Another Verse Confirms?
1) Direct Answer
No. The Bible never denies itself. No true verse cancels what another confirms. If something seems to clash, it’s our misunderstanding—not a fault in the Word.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- “The Scripture cannot be broken” (John 10:35).
- “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God” (2 Timothy 3:16).
- “God is not a man, that He should lie” (Numbers 23:19).
- “God is not the author of confusion” (1 Corinthians 14:33).
- “Precept upon precept; line upon line” (Isaiah 28:10).
- “Rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15).
- “Thy word is true from the beginning” (Psalm 119:160 KJV).
- “Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” (2 Peter 1:21).
3) Simple Clarifying Logic
- One Author does not disagree with Himself. If God breathed it, He won’t speak against Himself.
- Apparent contradictions clear up by context, audience, covenant, and timing.
- Law for Israel’s civil life (“eye for eye,” Exodus 21:24) versus the higher life of the Kingdom in personal conduct (“turn the other cheek,” Matthew 5:39). Not a denial—an elevation.
- Paul says we are saved “by grace… not of works” (Ephesians 2:8–9). James says faith without works is dead (James 2:17, 24). Not a clash: Paul speaks of how we are justified before God; James shows that living faith proves itself by works before men.
- Proverbs 26:4–5: “Answer not a fool…” and “Answer a fool…” Same chapter, back-to-back—two different situations. Wisdom discerns which applies.
- Judas’ death: he hanged himself (Matthew 27:5) and his body fell and burst (Acts 1:18). Put together, not against each other.
- “God repented” of a judgment (1 Samuel 15:11) versus “He is not a man, that He should repent” (1 Samuel 15:29). God’s nature and purpose do not change; His dealings adjust when man changes (see Jeremiah 18:7–10). That is consistency, not contradiction.
4) Reinforcing Statement
You see, the Bible agrees with the Bible. When we take all the Word, in its place and season, “Scripture interprets Scripture,” and every verse stands true.

Revelation, Chapter 4c Throne of mercy and judgement
61-0108 §69
Thrones, lightnings... What? Seven lamps, or... lamps, or seven stars, called seven Spirits, meaning the seven manifestations of the Holy Spirit of the seven church ages, the seven seats of mercy for the people. Here they are: seven seats of mercy, seven seats, seven churches, seven stars, seven manifestations, seven Spirits, seven lamps. Oh, my! How God is so perfect! In the numerics of the Bible, numerics of the Bible is the most perfect thing there is on earth. You can't get one flaw from Genesis to Revelation,...

Now, we mustn't walk at this or go at this with a half-hearted attitude. We must go with a full surrendered attitude. We must come to the church and listen to the Bible, and if anything is brought out of this Bible, believe it. If it's not out of the Bible, then it's up to you. But the Bible is God's foundation plan. It's His plan of redemption. It's His plan of healing. It's the plan of everything that He has, is laid out right here; and the Bible said, "Woe unto him that will add to or take out." This is it. I be...

Do you believe out there in the audience? Just a minute. I want to ask you something. I challenge your faith. Jesus was touched one time by a woman, and a woman that touched Him, He turned, and she denied touching Him, but He knew her anyhow, and He told her about her what had happened. Now, the Bible says... I'm trying to make this---if God will permit it---just as Bible days. Now, the Bible said that Jesus is the same today. Is that right? Well, if He is the same, He's the same in principal, power, everything tha...

Now, I do know that these ministers behind me may be wondering, because in type, it was showing the second coming of Christ. That's the real way to approach it. For it showed, first, Jesus glorified; second, the message to the Jews, which will be the two prophets of Revelation of 11, Moses and Elijah. And when they looked back, they saw Jesus only. But the Word of God is so inspiring, that the entire Bible ties together on every Word. You could preach the second coming, you can preach Divine healing, you can preach...

"Well, now, wait a minute, Lord! Now, what school should I advise?" I'll tell you what let's do, let's read Galatians and find out. Just the next chapter right back. Let's find Galatians 1, and begin at the tenth verse, and let's find out what school Paul went to, what seminary, and whose hands was laid on him, and, oh, all that took place. Galatians, the first chapter. To save time, let's begin about his conversion, the tenth verse: For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I seek yet t...
