Paradox #1

Hebrews 10:6 refers to God not being pleased with certain religious sacrifices and offerings. The potential contradiction here is that in the Old Testament, these sacrifices were commanded by God as part of the Law of Moses.

This could be seen as conflicting with the idea of a consistent divine will throughout the Bible.
