Contradiction with Galatians 3:10
This verse explains that following the law can lead to a curse, which contradicts Joshua 24:25 where Joshua makes a covenant to follow the law.
Galatians 3:10: For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
Contradiction with Romans 3:20
This verse states that no one is justified by the law, contradicting Joshua 24:25 which signifies a commitment to the law.
Romans 3:20: Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law [is] the knowledge of sin.
Contradiction with Hebrews 8:13
It talks about the old covenant being obsolete, contradicting the establishment of a covenant in Joshua 24:25.
Hebrews 8:13: In that he saith, A new [covenant], he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old [is] ready to vanish away.
Contradiction with 2 Corinthians 3:6
Claims that the letter of the law kills, whereas Joshua 24:25 institutes a new law covenant.
2 Corinthians 3:6: Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. [giveth life: or, quickeneth]
Contradiction with Romans 6:14
This verse speaks of being not under the law, but under grace, which contradicts the law covenant referenced in Joshua 24:25.
Romans 6:14: For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Paradox #1
The contradiction in this context may arise from the idea of imposing a covenant on a group of people. On one hand, such agreements are meant to establish order and commitment, but on the other hand, they could be seen as limiting individual freedom and autonomy. This could lead to tension between collective responsibility and personal liberty.
