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.

Confirmation of the Commission

On Mt. Carmel, when he had the showdown between the false gods and the true God, he laid the sacrifice out, walked out there and said, "Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known today that You are God in Israel, and I am your servant, and I've done all of this at your command [preached the Word at your command, Lord, to all the world, to every creature; these signs shall follow them that believe], at your command.

Why I'm against organized religion
62-1111E §35
That's what the organization is good for, bring in every riff-raff there is, and call it "Christianity." Send a boy to school that knows no more about God than a Hottentot would know about an Egyptian knight, send him over there and give him an education and learn him psychology, and give him a PhD, and a doctor degree or bachelor of art, or something or another like that. And send him away to preach the gospel, that's never even been saved, that will deny the virgin birth and the resurrection, deny divine healing,...

... people setting here that's well. You was bothered with nervous trouble setting out there, wasn't you, sir, just as she passed by that man setting out there at the end of the row?

Do you now believe?
53-1206E §62
Now, if there is a critic setting near, now, or an unbeliever, I will not be responsible for that person from here on, see, out. For be it known unto you, that unclean spirits goes out of people. They go from one to another. How many knows that? The Bible teaches it. Now how many has been in my meetings and seen it happen? Where an epilepsy leave one and just color the whole congregation up like that, that's true, see. How many has been in my meetings and seen those things happen when unclean spirits go from one to...
The presence of God unrecognized
64-0618 §82
God bless you now, as you sit real quiet, see, just a moment. Oh, my! I'm five minutes over my time now. Forgive me. I didn't aim to speak that long. I tell you ... let's just wait just a moment. Just give me five more minutes, if you will. How many knows what God was? We know what the Bible said He was. And the Bible said He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. And Jesus said... In St. John the 14th chapter, the 12th verse, He said, "He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also."---not he tha...
