Paradox #1
Some people might see a contradiction in the idea that Jesus talks about not judging, while other parts of the Bible emphasize judgment and accountability for actions. This can seem inconsistent when trying to understand how mercy and judgment work together in biblical teachings.
Paradox #2
One possible contradiction is with the idea of judgment versus no judgment. In some parts of the Bible, it seems like everyone will be judged, while this verse talks about not judging. This can seem inconsistent because it raises questions about whether or not judgment will happen for everyone.
Paradox #3
The contradiction or conflict in this verse could be the idea of not judging people, which might seem inconsistent with the broader biblical theme where judgment and consequences for actions are often emphasized. This can appear contradictory to those who interpret other parts of the Bible as advocating for accountability and justice.
