Paradox #1
Deuteronomy 4:37 may present a contradiction or conflict in the context of favoritism. The verse discusses God's special favor and choice of a particular group of people. This could raise questions about fairness and equality, as it suggests preference for one group over others, potentially conflicting with the idea of a universally loving and just deity.
