Contradiction with Romans 3:23

Romans 3:23: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Contradiction with 1 John 1:8
This verse states if we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, contradicting the idea in Jeremiah 6:28 that focuses on only particular individuals as grievous revolters.
1 John 1:8: If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Contradiction with Ezekiel 18:20
This verse argues personal responsibility for sin, whereas Jeremiah 6:28 suggests a collective characterization of corruption and rebellion.
Ezekiel 18:20: The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Contradiction with Matthew 7:1
Jesus advises not to judge others, contradicting the judgment pronounced in Jeremiah 6:28 on specific people.
Matthew 7:1: Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Contradiction with James 4:12
States that there is one lawgiver and judge, suggesting humans should not judge others like Jeremiah 6:28 does.
James 4:12: There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
Paradox #1
Jeremiah 6:28 describes people as rebellious and corrupt. The potential contradiction could be between this verse and other parts of the Bible that offer forgiveness and redemption. If God sees people as inherently rebellious, it might seem inconsistent with the idea of mercy and the chance for people to change their ways.
