Contradiction with Galatians 3:28
This verse emphasizes the equality of all in Christ, regardless of social or personal circumstances, while 1 Corinthians 7:24 suggests remaining in the life situation where one was called.
Galatians 3:28: There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Contradiction with Philippians 3:13-14
This passage encourages believers to forget the past and strive toward a new goal, seemingly encouraging change rather than remaining in one's current situation.
Philippians 3:13-14: Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but [this] one thing [I do], forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
Contradiction with Colossians 3:11
Similar to Galatians 3:28, this verse sees no distinction between different social statuses in Christ, contrasting with the idea of remaining in one's calling or situation.
Colossians 3:11: Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond [nor] free: but Christ [is] all, and in all.
Paradox #1
The potential contradiction in 1 Corinthians 7:24 could arise from the idea of remaining in the life situation one is in when they become a believer. Some might see a conflict when comparing this to the broader message of transformation and change that is often emphasized in other teachings. It might seem inconsistent if one interprets it as a call to accept all social or economic situations, including unjust ones, without seeking improvement or change.
