Contradiction with James 2:13

This verse emphasizes mercy over judgment, which can conflict with the concept of judgment and fiery indignation in Hebrews 10:27.

Paradox #1

The contradiction could arise from the verse's emphasis on judgment and punishment, which might conflict with the broader biblical themes of forgiveness and mercy. While the verse suggests a fearful expectation of judgment, other parts of the Bible emphasize God's readiness to forgive and show mercy. This could create a tension between justice and forgiveness.
