Contradiction with James 2:24
This verse emphasizes that a person is justified by works, not by faith only, which can contradict the notion of salvation through faith in Christ's death alone mentioned in 1 Corinthians 15:3.
James 2:24: Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Paradox #1
Some people point out a historical inconsistency regarding the idea that Jesus' death for sins and resurrection were known as formal traditions or teachings very early in Christianity. Critics argue that because the earliest writings from Paul, like 1 Corinthians, mention this tradition, it suggests that there might have been discrepancies in how early or how uniformly these ideas were taught across different Christian communities. This has led to debates about how these core beliefs developed and spread among early Christians.
