Romans 12:14: Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
Contradiction with Romans 12:20
Encourages feeding and giving drink to your enemy, a direct contradiction to the mocking posture in Ezekiel 25:3.

Paradox #1
The contradiction in Ezekiel 25:3 could be seen in the idea of punishment and retaliation. The verse expresses God's intention to punish the Ammonites for mocking Israel. This could conflict with teachings about forgiveness and turning the other cheek, suggesting a tension between justice and mercy.
