Contradiction with Galatians 3:28
This verse suggests that in Christ, there is neither Jew nor Greek, which contrasts with the notion of a promise specifically made to the descendants of Abraham in Acts 3:25.
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 Romans 10:12
States that there is no difference between Jew and Greek, contradicting the specific focus on Jewish heritage implied in Acts 3:25.
Romans 10:12: For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
Contradiction with John 1:12-13
Indicates that those who receive Christ and believe in his name become children of God, challenging the concept of a promise tied explicitly to Abraham's lineage as stated in Acts 3:25.
John 1:12-13: But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name: [power: or, the right, or, privilege]
Contradiction with Ephesians 2:14
Describes Christ as breaking down the dividing wall between Jews and Gentiles, contrasting with the exclusionary emphasis on the children of the covenant in Acts 3:25.
Ephesians 2:14: For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition [between us];
Paradox #1
Theological discussions around Acts 3:25 might lead to questions about how the covenant promises to Israel relate to all nations. Some people might see a tension between the specific promises made to Israel and the idea of those promises extending universally. This raises questions about how the Old Testament promises connect to New Testament teachings about salvation and the inclusion of non-Israelites in God's plan.
