States God cannot be tempted with evil, in contrast to Revelation 15:6 where the angels are administering God’s wrath, emphasizing divine purity yet associated with wrath.

James 1:13: Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: [evil: or, evils]

Paradox #1

The potential contradiction in Revelation 15:6 might stem from how it depicts angels preparing to carry out judgments or plagues. This could be seen as conflicting with broader themes of mercy and forgiveness found elsewhere in the Bible. While judgment is a recurrent theme, the severity of these actions might seem inconsistent with a message of love and compassion.
