Romans 8:31: What shall we then say to these things? If God [be] for us, who [can be] against us?
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 14:33

Paradox #1
The contradiction, inconsistency, or conflict that might arise with this verse could involve differing accounts of the event in other historical, cultural, or archaeological records. Some historians and scholars argue that there is insufficient evidence outside of the biblical text to confirm this event. Additionally, variations in the retelling of this story in other ancient texts might lead to inconsistencies or conflicts about the details of what happened.
Paradox #2
Exodus 14:25 describes God intervening in a battle to help the Israelites by causing problems for the Egyptians. The moral conflict here could be how a loving and just God causes harm to some people to benefit others, which might seem inconsistent with the idea of universal compassion and justice.
