Contradiction with Galatians 3:10
This verse suggests that those who rely on observing the law are under a curse, which contradicts Deuteronomy 11:8 where adherence to the law is encouraged for strength and prosperity.
Galatians 3:10: For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
Paradox #1
The contradiction in this verse might arise from the emphasis on adhering strictly to commands as a pathway to strength and prosperity. This could conflict with the idea of free will and moral choices being based on understanding and conviction rather than obedience out of obligation. The tension lies in obeying rules versus making independent ethical decisions.
