Contradiction with Genesis 6:5

Describes every intent of the thoughts of the heart as only evil continually, which contrasts with the idea of a good person bringing forth good from their heart.

Genesis 6:5: And GOD saw that the wickedness of man [was] great in the earth, and [that] every imagination of the thoughts of his heart [was] only evil continually. [every...: or, the whole imagination: the Hebrew word signifieth not only the imagination, but also the purposes and desires] [continually: Heb. every day]

Paradox #1

The contradiction or conflict in Luke 6:45 might be the idea that actions and words always reflect the quality of a person's heart. In reality, people can sometimes act or speak in ways that don't entirely match their inner feelings or intentions due to external pressures or personal struggles. This could create tension between the belief that the heart always dictates one's actions and the complexity of human behavior.
