Paradox #1
One potential contradiction with Mark 9:26 could be related to the varying accounts of demonic exorcisms in the New Testament. Different passages describe exorcisms with varying levels of detail and differing outcomes, leading to questions about the consistency of these miraculous events and the nature of demonic possession and healing. Some readers may find it challenging to reconcile certain descriptions and outcomes with modern understandings or other biblical narratives.
