Paradox #1
Some people might see a contradiction between this verse and earlier parts of the Bible that mention God punishing people for their ignorance or sins. They might wonder why God would overlook ignorance at one time but not at others. This could seem inconsistent, as it raises questions about when and why God's requirements for repentance might change.
Paradox #2
The contradiction or conflict in Acts 17:30 could be seen in the idea of past ignorance being overlooked. Some might question why ignorance is forgiven instead of being held accountable, which could seem inconsistent with ideas of justice or fairness. Others might see a conflict in how different people receive different levels of leniency based on their knowledge or awareness.
