those things you named aren't really paradoxes. you could maybe call it hypocrisy, but even that is debatable. there two main paradoxes inherent to christianity.
1. (like the person who answered you first said) omniscience and freewill conflict. actually,, that may not be entirely true. but omniPOTENCE and free will definitely DO conflict.
2. omnipotence, all-lovingness, and allowing people to go to hell. these three things can not coexist.
=============================================
hey,,, A TRAVELER,
you don't believe in free will?? neither do i. i read some of your other answers though, and i noticed you are christians. i have never in my life met a christian who doesn't believe in free will. if you read this, please respond, or respond to one of my open questions. i'm super curious about how you're able to make these beliefs work.

Who says that Christians are war mongerers besides you? Who says they are all NRA nuts? (NRA gun nuts is somewhat redundant.) Who says they are all racist? You can't be considered credible if you generalize. I would say most people are abortion opponents, even if they are pro choice. I've never met anyone, except you, I guess, who are pro-abortion.
I'm Catholic and pro-choice. My brother-in-law sends me NRA emails and I delete them like spam. He sent us NRA sweatshirts one Christmas and we both complained to his mother (let's not start family conflict) that he sends money now. I'm not racist. Are you? Would you say you were?

What is your favorite Christian Paradox?
I would have to say that having seen them as a decoration at the back of our church, that the male and female mallard have to be my favorite Christian pair of ducks.

There's no such thing as christian paradox in the bible, people/organization with religious belief that practiced paradox are not christians, but rather false christians.

How about the ones that promote Capital Punishment while they condemn and even kill doctors that perform abortions or kill the girls who made the hardest decision in their lives? To me, they contradict each other all the time.

The paradox of justifying the far right's extreme fascism as "Christian" in origin.

The fact that not only was Jesus not Christian but Jewish, and so were all the Apostles; yet all Christians & Catholics claim He was one of them! They're all in the wrong religion!

The mutual incompatibility of omniscience and free will. This alone is proof that the god that so many Christians worship is nonexistent.

God is supposed to be the only person passing judgment, but listen to all the Christians passing judgment if you don't agree with their religion.

Omniscience and free will is not a paradox. There is no such thing as free will.
