Paradox #1
The contradiction or inconsistency in Leviticus 24:11 could be the conflict between the punishment for blasphemy and the idea of forgiveness and mercy. While this verse implies a strict and harsh response to speaking against God, other parts of religious teachings emphasize forgiving others and showing compassion. This creates a tension between justice and mercy.
