Contradiction with Romans 3:28

Paradox #1
Some people might find a contradiction or conflict regarding who will judge or rule in the future. Different parts of the Bible talk about judgement and rulership differently. In some places, it says Jesus will judge, while in others, it mentions the apostles or different groups of people. This can seem inconsistent if you try to figure out exactly who does what.
Paradox #2
The potential contradiction or conflict could be the idea of rewarding a specific group of people (the disciples) with significant authority or status, which may seem unfair or exclusive to others. This could conflict with broader principles of equality and fairness.
