Contradiction with John 16:33
Hebrews 11:37 highlights the suffering and persecution faced by the prophets, while John 16:33 asserts that despite tribulations, followers will have peace in Jesus.
John 16:33: These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or inconsistency related to this Bible verse might be the mention of certain forms of persecution that do not have a clear historical record in the context of the biblical timeline or known figures. Since some of the specifics of these events are not documented outside of religious texts, it can be challenging to verify them historically.
Paradox #2
The contradiction or conflict in that verse could be seen in how it refers to the extreme suffering and persecution faced by people who are faithful. This might seem inconsistent with the idea of a loving and protective God allowing such suffering. This raises questions about why good people endure so much hardship just for their faith.
