According to Paul, the author of Romans, the rules given to people couldn't help them because people were too weak to follow them. So God sent Jesus, who looked just like us, to take the blame for the bad things people did.

Romans 8:3: For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: [for sin: or, by a sacrifice for sin]

Contradiction with Galatians 3:12

Romans 8:3 states that the law could not save due to human weakness, and God sent His Son to fulfill it, while Galatians 3:12 emphasizes adherence to the law for righteousness.

Galatians 3:12: And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

Paradox #1

Romans 8:3 could be seen as inconsistent with the idea that God does not change. It talks about God sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to address sin, which might seem different from how God acted in earlier times. Some might wonder why this approach wasn't taken sooner, or how it aligns with God's unchanging nature. However, many theologians interpret this as part of God's ongoing plan, consistent with His nature.
