Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 15:27
While Hebrews 2:8 implies all things are subdued under humanity, 1 Corinthians 15:27 clarifies that when all things are under Christ, it excludes God, who put all things under Christ, showing a distinction between divine and human authority.

Contradiction with Hebrews 2:9

Paradox #1
Hebrews 2:8 might seem inconsistent because it says that everything is under human control, but in reality, not everything seems controlled by humans. This could be seen as conflicting with the actual experience of the world, where many things happen that are beyond human control.

The contradiction in Hebrews 2:8 might be perceived in the idea that while it suggests everything is subject to human authority, in reality, not all events or situations seem controllable by humans. This could create a conflict between belief in human dominion and the observable world where humans often face limitations.
