Paradox #1
The contradiction or conflict in Acts 22:21 could arise from the idea of exclusivity versus inclusivity. The verse could be seen as emphasizing a mission to reach and convert people from outside a specific group, which might conflict with views that prioritize focusing on or favoring one's own community. This tension between reaching out to others and maintaining a group's identity or traditions can create moral inconsistency.
