Mark 11:23: For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

Contradiction with Matthew 19:26

Paradox #1

This verse could be seen as inconsistent with messages of hope and renewal found in other parts of the Bible. It speaks to the inevitability of decay and the unstoppable nature of time, which may conflict with the broader biblical themes of redemption and restoration.
