Contradiction with James 2:24
This verse emphasizes that a person is justified by works and not by faith only, which contrasts with the idea of sins being forgiven without mention of works.
James 2:24: Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Contradiction with Romans 4:6-7
These verses highlight the blessing of being forgiven without works, similar to Luke 7:48, but they challenge the need for direct pronouncement of forgiveness.
Romans 4:6-7: Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
Contradiction with Hebrews 10:18

Matthew 6:14: For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
Paradox #1
The potential contradiction in Luke 7:48 might arise from the idea of forgiveness being given without apparent conditions.

This could seem unfair to those who feel that wrongdoings should always require some action or change from the person being forgiven.
