Paradox #1
1 Corinthians 13:10 discusses the idea of something "perfect" coming, which may be interpreted in various ways. A potential theological inconsistency might arise when trying to determine what "the perfect" refers to. Some interpret it as the completion of the Bible, others as the return of Christ, or as humanity's ultimate perfection in heaven. These differing views can lead to conflicting interpretations about the nature and timing of spiritual maturity or completion.
Paradox #2
The potential contradiction, inconsistency, or conflict related to that verse could revolve around differing interpretations of what is meant by "when the perfect comes." Some might argue about whether "the perfect" refers to the completion of the Bible, the return of Jesus, or the maturity of the church. These interpretations can lead to various theological debates about spiritual gifts, prophecy, and the timeline of events in Christian eschatology.
