Paradox #1
The contradiction or conflict in this verse could be the idea of separating people like fish, judging some as good and others as bad. This can seem harsh or unfair, as it implies a final and irreversible judgment that doesn't allow for redemption or change over time. Some might see this as inconsistent with the idea of a loving and forgiving God.
