Paradox #1
Hebrews 10:30 talks about God's role in taking revenge and judging people. A possible theological conflict could be with teachings about forgiveness and love in the Bible. For example, Jesus teaches to love your enemies and forgive others (like in Matthew 5:44 and Matthew 6:14-15). Some might see a contradiction between the idea of divine vengeance and the call for humans to forgive and love.
Paradox #2
The contradiction or conflict in Hebrews 10:30 could be seen in the idea of vengeance belonging to God. This may seem inconsistent with teachings about forgiveness and love for enemies found elsewhere in the Bible. It raises questions about how justice, forgiveness, and vengeance coexist in moral teachings.
