Paradox #1

The possible contradiction in Romans 8:32 might arise when considering how God, who did not spare His own Son, appears to act in a way that seems inconsistent with the promise of a loving and protective deity. Some might find it challenging to reconcile the idea of a loving God with the sacrificial act of delivering His Son for others. This tension might be seen as contradictory when paired with teachings about God's unfailing love and care. However, theologians argue that this action demonstrates the ultimate expression of God's love and commitment to humanity.
