Paradox #1
Ezekiel 7:24 speaks about God's punishment through allowing foreign nations to conquer and bring destruction. The contradiction might be seen in the idea of a loving and merciful God allowing such harsh punishment and suffering for the people. This can be seen as conflicting with other teachings that emphasize love and forgiveness.
