Paradox #1

Jeremiah 18:10 might be seen as having a moral inconsistency because it suggests that God can change His mind about doing good or harm based on people's actions. This could create confusion about God's consistency, as He is often described as unchanging. It raises questions about whether God's promises are conditional and if human behavior can really alter divine plans.
