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 where is this book located? Luke 10:17-24, "And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject to us through Thy Name. And He said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. In that hour J...
An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages
CAB 3:E-80
Here is another sad story. It is the story of water baptism. In Jesus' day and after Pentecost they were immersed in water. No one can deny that. Educated men say that all they did was pour water on them because it was easy to find little holes of water in many places. And when they pour water on them, they do it in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost, as if those titles were real names, and as if there were three Gods instead of just one. But stay in that organization and try and preach the truth...
Does God change His mind?
65-0427 §31
Notice, Balaam used a phony text here, for his, conscience's sake, see. He said, "Peradventure, you stay another night, and maybe I'll ask God," you see. "Maybe He might have changed His mind." But God don't change His mind. When God give us the declaration of the baptism of the Holy Ghost, on the day of Pentecost, that's the way He has to keep it. He did all through the Bible age. And He will any other time that man will come upon them basis, that He offered there. If you'll come believing, repenting, being baptiz...
In His presence
62-0909E §7
And now tonight, God willing, we're speaking on the subject of "In His Presence." And, oh, how we thank God for the privilege that we can come into His presence. But, first, I wish you all to turn in your Bibles with me to the prophet Isaiah, the 6th chapter of the prophet Isaiah. We all know that Isaiah was a major prophet, and one of the great prophets of his day. He ended his life by being sawed asunder with saws, for a testimony, as a martyr to the power of Almighty God. In the book of Isaiah, the 6th chapter,...
Let us see God
59-1129 §51
Oh, sure, God is in His universe. You believe that, don't you? Oh, we could spend hours just on that one thing but we've got to jump to another. You believe God is in His universe? Now, next, God is in His Word. Now you look around the universe and you'll see God. Certainly, you will. Now God is in His universe. Now, God is in His Word. God keeps His Word. That's what makes the Bible real. That's what we can challenge any atheist, any unbeliever, any Mohammedan, any Buddhist, any witch doctor, any spiritualist, any...
