Contradiction with Galatians 3:28

Paradox #1

The potential contradiction or conflict could arise from the idea of exclusivity. If God claims to have chosen specific people for a special purpose or relationship, it might seem unfair or inconsistent with the notion of being universally loving and just. Some could see this as conflicting with the idea that all people should be treated equally.
