Paradox #1
Genesis 3:23 shows God expelling Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden after they disobeyed Him. Some people might see a contradiction in how God is described as all-knowing and all-powerful but did not prevent the disobedience or the entrance of sin into the world. Others might find it inconsistent with the concept of a loving and forgiving God, as punishment seems severe. However, interpretations vary widely, and many theologians explain this as necessary for human free will and the unfolding of God's larger plan.
Paradox #2
The verse "Genesis 3:23" might present a contradiction or inconsistency in terms of justice and forgiveness. It raises questions about the fairness of punishing all of humanity for the actions of two individuals (Adam and Eve), and whether the idea of original sin aligns with concepts of individual responsibility and forgiveness.
