Paradox #1
Luke 21:12 could present a moral conflict as it talks about followers of Jesus being persecuted. This could be seen as conflicting with the idea of a loving and protective God, as followers may wonder why they would face harm despite their faith. Additionally, it might seem inconsistent with teachings of peace and forgiveness, as persecution often implies violence and suffering.
