Contradiction with Matthew 6:5
Romans 10:15 emphasizes preaching the gospel, while Matthew 6:5 warns against public acts for the sake of recognition, conflicting in the manner of proclaiming faith.
Matthew 6:5: And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites [are]: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Contradiction with Matthew 7:6
While Romans 10:15 encourages spreading the message widely, Matthew 7:6 advises against sharing holy things with those who might not value them, suggesting restraint.
Matthew 7:6: Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 14:34
Romans 10:15 supports public preaching, yet 1 Corinthians 14:34 calls for women to remain silent in churches, conflicting on who should spread the message.
1 Corinthians 14:34: Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but [they are commanded] to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
Contradiction with 1 Timothy 2:12
Romans 10:15 supports the role of preaching, while 1 Timothy 2:12 restricts women from teaching or having authority, presenting a limitation on who may preach.
1 Timothy 2:12: But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
Contradiction with James 3:1
Romans 10:15 highlights the importance of being a messenger, whereas James 3:1 warns not many should become teachers because of stricter judgment, cautioning against widespread preaching roles.
James 3:1: My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. [condemnation: or, judgment]
Paradox #1
The conflict could arise from the idea that not everyone who spreads a message or brings news is necessarily "good" or beneficial. People might question why some harmful or misleading messages seem to thrive if all messengers are seen as bringing something "good." This might contradict experiences where harmful ideas are spread successfully.
