Paradox #1
1 Peter 3:22 talks about Jesus being at the right hand of God with angels, authorities, and powers being subject to him. A potential contradiction might be seen when comparing this idea of Jesus' authority with other parts of the Bible that emphasize the authority of God the Father alone. Some might see this as conflicting with verses that portray God the Father as the supreme authority. However, many interpretations reconcile this by understanding Jesus and God as part of the Trinity, sharing divine authority.
