Mark 3:29: But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:

Contradiction with Matthew 12:31

This verse states that all manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men, seeming to include the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost as forgivable.

Matthew 12:31: Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy [against] the [Holy] Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

Contradiction with Luke 12:10

Similar to Matthew 12:31, this verse suggests a broader scope of forgiveness that conflicts with the unforgivable nature of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit noted in Mark 3:29.

Luke 12:10: And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.

Contradiction with Acts 13:39

It indicates that by Jesus, all that believe are justified from all things, potentially conflicting with the concept of an unforgivable sin.

Acts 13:39: And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

Paradox #1

Mark 3:29 discusses the unforgivable sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. The theological conflict arises because this idea seems to contradict the broader Christian teaching that God's forgiveness is infinite and available for all sins through repentance and faith. Some find it difficult to reconcile this with the existence of an unforgivable sin.

Paradox #2

The contradiction or conflict in this verse could be the idea of forgiveness versus unforgivable sin. The Bible often teaches that forgiveness is available for everyone, yet this verse suggests there might be a sin that cannot be forgiven. This could seem inconsistent with the broader message of unlimited forgiveness.
