Contradiction with Matthew 5:14

Luke 24:47: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
Contradiction with Acts 4:18
The apostles were commanded not to speak at all in the name of Jesus, which they defy, similarly contradicting the restrictions in Acts 5:28.

Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 9:16
Paul states that he is compelled to preach the gospel, implying necessity despite any earthly prohibition like that in Acts 5:28.

Paradox #1
The contradiction in Acts 5:28 might involve the issue of obeying authority versus following one's moral or religious convictions. The verse involves religious leaders commanding others not to teach in Jesus' name, which could conflict with the moral obligation of spreading what one believes to be the truth. This creates tension between respecting authority and following personal beliefs.
