Contradiction with Romans 8:38-39

Contradiction with 1 John 1:9

Promises forgiveness and cleansing from all unrighteousness upon confession, in contrast to the exclusionary list in 1 Corinthians 6:10.

1 John 1:9: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Paradox #1

One possible contradiction in the verse is that it may seem to conflict with the idea of forgiveness and redemption taught elsewhere in the Bible. While this verse lists certain behaviors that can lead to exclusion from God's kingdom, other parts of the Bible emphasize that all sins can be forgiven if one repents and seeks God's grace. This could create confusion about whether certain actions are unforgivable or if all individuals have the opportunity for redemption.
