Paradox #1

Proverbs 6:24 talks about avoiding the temptations of a seductress, which could conflict with the idea of showing love and compassion to all individuals, regardless of their actions. This could be seen as inconsistent because it seems to judge and warn against certain people, rather than advocating for understanding or redemption.
