Paradox #1
Job 33:12 discusses the idea that God is greater than any human. A potential contradiction could arise if one considers situations where human suffering is justified by saying it's part of a divine plan. It may conflict with the idea of a compassionate and just deity versus the reality of human pain and injustice that seems to go unaddressed or unexplained.
