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.

Now notice, isn't it strange that that king, after that prophecy, and putting it on the Word of God, that still he didn't understand that? And he went right on anyhow, because the Word of God had to be fulfilled. Now, closely, put on your shock-proof jackets. Isn't it a strange thing that God will send a truth to a people, and in spite of all the preaching, till you could get hoarse and die, people will plunge right on down the road after some kind of fantastic fanaticism, instead of stay with the Word of God? Why?...

Listen, let me show you what the Bible said. Paul said, "If an angel from heaven come and preach any other Gospel than this what you've heard, let him be accursed." He said, "Though I could speak with tongues as men and angels and have not love, I am nothing. Though I can have faith to move a mountain (bring bread from my hand, oils from my hand, or do anything else), I am nothing." Anything he'd do in the light of that was nothing yet. He could give all his goods to feed the poor, he could do all these different t...

Now, we are going to open the Word of God. And I wish to read just one verse, found where we was reading this last night. We finished up on the 20th verse of the fourth chapter of Romans, of reading. Tonight, I want to read the 21st verse. And then last evening we started at the 11th chapter of Genesis and come over to the 16th chapter of Genesis, and just hitting the high places of the life of Abraham. Now, we read here: And being fully persuaded that ... he was able to keep that which he had promised. If God has...

Then, they got them a false prophet. When people won't receive the truth, though it be in the minority, they'll raise them up a false prophet. The Bible said in the last days that false prophets ... the people would heap for themselves teachers having itching ears, and would be turned away from the truth unto fables. Now, God has to keep His Word; He has to do it. "...turned away from truth unto fables." And you notice, they went and got another man by the name of Korah. And Korah got all the people together (as ma...
