Has anyone come across what I've decided to call biblical paradoxes?
Here's a couple examples off the top of my head.
God hardens Pharaoh's heart and then has Moses ask for the israelites leave, but eventually God kills all the first born because pharaoh refuses because God hardened his heart...
Another one would be.
God told Adam/Eve not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, but there is no way they could have known this was a bad thing to do...
Or Jesus telling us not to call anyone fools but then going on to do so himself.
Luke 11:40
Mat 23:17
Luke 24:25
Luke 12:20
Has anyone else come across anything like this while reading?
