Paradox #1
Exodus 7:5 describes God demonstrating His power to the Egyptians to prove that He is the Lord. A contradiction could be seen in the idea of using force or miracles to assert authority or belief, which might conflict with the concept of free will. If people are compelled to believe through overwhelming displays of power, it raises questions about the nature of faith and choice.
