Contradiction with Matthew 25:46
This verse suggests eternal punishment for some, which contrasts with the universal life in Christ implied in "for as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive."
Matthew 25:46: And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
Contradiction with John 3:18
This verse states that those who do not believe are condemned, which opposes the universality of being made alive in Christ as suggested in 1 Corinthians 15:22.
John 3:18: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Contradiction with 2 Thessalonians 1:9
This verse speaks of everlasting destruction for some, contrasting with the idea that in Christ, all shall be made alive.
2 Thessalonians 1:9: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
Contradiction with Revelation 21:8
This verse describes a second death for certain groups, conflicting with the notion that all in Christ shall be made alive mentioned in 1 Corinthians 15:22.
Revelation 21:8: But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Paradox #1
Some people might see a contradiction with the idea of universal salvation. The verse suggests that all will be made alive in Christ, which could conflict with other biblical teachings about judgment or the need for faith in Christ to be saved. This could lead to discussions about whether salvation is truly available to everyone or only to believers.
Paradox #2
Some people think there's a conflict because this verse might suggest that everyone will be made alive in the same way. Yet, other parts of the Bible talk about differences in how people experience life after death, depending on their faith or actions. This can seem inconsistent to some readers.
Paradox #3
The verse suggests that all people will be made alive through one person, which could be seen as conflicting with beliefs that emphasize individual responsibility for one's own spiritual state. It contrasts with views that salvation or spiritual awakening is based on personal actions or merit rather than a universal principle.
Paradox #4
The potential scientific conflict with the concept expressed in this verse could be the idea of all people dying due to one person's actions and all being made alive through another. Scientifically, death and life are biological processes determined by genetics, environment, and other factors, not actions of specific individuals. This presents a spiritual or symbolic view rather than a literal, scientific explanation.
Paradox #5
Some people might see a contradiction because the verse states that "in Christ all will be made alive." This can seem inconsistent with the belief that not everyone receives eternal life or salvation, as other parts of the Bible suggest that faith or certain actions are required to be saved. This creates a conflict between the idea of universal salvation and the need for individual belief and actions.
