Paradox #1
Acts 15:1 might be seen as conflicting with the idea of salvation by faith alone, which is emphasized in other parts of the New Testament, such as Paul's letters. The verse suggests that certain actions or practices were necessary for salvation, which could be seen as conflicting with the message that faith in Jesus is the sole requirement.
Paradox #2
Acts 15:1 could be seen as having a doctrinal conflict with the idea of faith alone being enough for salvation. The verse suggests that following specific laws or practices is necessary, which might contradict the belief that faith, rather than adherence to the law, is what leads to salvation.
Paradox #3
The verse addresses the necessity of certain traditional practices for salvation. A contradiction or conflict could arise from the tension between adhering to traditional laws and embracing the new faith's emphasis on universal acceptance and grace, potentially leading to disagreements on whether external practices are necessary for salvation.
