Contradiction with James 2:24
This verse states that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone, contradicting Romans 3:24, which emphasizes justification freely by grace through redemption in Christ without mentioning works.
James 2:24: Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Paradox #1
Some people might see a contradiction in the idea of being freely justified by grace through faith, as it might seem to suggest that people do not need to do good deeds or live morally to be made right with God. This could conflict with the idea that personal responsibility and good actions are important.
