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.

Jesus of Nazareth passeth by
58-0524 §13
If someone was sick, and God was consulted, and God healed that person, then on the second time someone gets sick, and God is consulted, He's got to heal the second time, or He did wrong when He acted the first time. For God is infinite. We are finite. We get smarter, and our generations gets brighter and more intelligent. Our scientists move on. But God, being infinite, He has to be perfect all the time. He cannot get smarter or cannot loose any of His intelligence. He has to remain the same. There's where our con...
The evidence of the resurrection
58-0406E §78
Now, the Bible said He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. He's proved that. The Bible said He's raised from the dead. He's proved that. Is that right? Now, I want to ask you something. Jesus said this, His last words before He left the earth: "These signs shall follow them that believe." How many believers in here? Say, "Amen." You are the believer now. "These signs shall follow them that believe. If they lay their hands on the sick, they shall recover." Is that promise true? Well, you're the believers, you'...
Questions and Answers on Genesis
53-0729 §66
Now, watch. Oh, you say, "Why don't we have the seventh day, too?" Now, hold it just a minute. Let's read the next verse, see; don't get it too fast. All right: For if Jesus had have given them ... For if Jesus had have given them rest (rest day), then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. When He changed the law, from the law to the grace, wouldn't He have given them a day to rest, a rest day, a certain day? But He never said nothing about the Sabbath. He never said nothing about Sunday, He never said...
Marriage and Divorce
65-0221M §89
Went right on revealing it, the way He revealed His Word, but dare any one of us to try to put away Him and marry another. Now, surely it's plain why both theories are wrong. You can't make it run this way; it's gone. You make it run that, it'd run plumb past the promise. Here's the promise. Here's the thing right here. The Word is not contradictory; it has to stay in continuity. Now, no more than Matthew 28:19 contradicts Acts 2:38. Now, some of you women, some of you men, I know you're disagreeing with it because...
