Paradox #1
The potential contradiction with Psalms 130:3 could be the tension between justice and mercy. The verse suggests that if God kept a strict record of all wrongdoings, no one could stand righteous. This raises questions about how God's justice works alongside His mercy and forgiveness. Some might find it challenging to reconcile how God can be both just, in holding people accountable for their sins, and merciful, in forgiving them.
Paradox #2
The contradiction or inconsistency in Psalms 130:3 could be that it suggests humans are incapable of achieving moral perfection and are inherently flawed, which might contrast with the expectation in some religious teachings that people strive to be righteous and follow divine law. This could create tension between recognizing human imperfection and the pursuit of moral or spiritual ideals.
