Paradox #1

One potential contradiction with Deuteronomy 12:32 is that it emphasizes not adding or taking away from God's commandments, but elsewhere in the Bible, new teachings or changes are introduced, particularly in the New Testament with Jesus and the apostles. This could be seen as conflicting with the strict instruction not to alter God's word.

Paradox #2

Deuteronomy 12:32 might seem to contradict or conflict with verses that talk about the freedom or changes in the Law, especially in the New Testament where Jesus fulfills and sometimes reinterprets the Law. Some might see this as a conflict between following the Law exactly as given and the idea of spiritual freedom or growth in understanding God's will.

Paradox #3

The moral conflict in this verse could be that it commands strict adherence without allowing for personal interpretation or adaptation. Some might see this as conflicting with the idea of individual understanding and growth in personal faith, which can be seen as important in other parts of the Bible.
