What's interesting is that Chesterton is actually on to something with his obsession with paradoxes, since there actually is a lot of paradox built into Christianity. "The last will be first and the first will be last," and so on. He was right to hone in on them, being as focused on Christianity as he was.

"The last will be first and the first will be last," isn't a paradox; there's no logical contradiction there. It's just reversing the order of a sequence. Not even a Christcuck, just a person who knows how queues work.

"Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses His life for My sake will find it." Mt 10:39

"My power is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Cor 12:9

"Regarded as deceivers and yet true; as unknown yet well-known, as dying yet behold, we live... as sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing yet possessing all things." 2 Cor 6:8-10

>"Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses His life for My sake will find it."
Boolean conversion. Not a paradox.

>"My power is made perfect in weakness.”
Maybe a legitimate paradox, not familiar with the context here.

>"Regarded as deceivers and yet true; as unknown yet well-known, as dying yet behold, we live... as sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing yet possessing all things."
Illustrates difference between popular perception and reality. Not a paradox.

You boys need some Russel in your lives.

OP is right.

It's called a circle.

Nice torture job there. I would say become a lawyer, but not skillful enough.

But whether time is circular or linear is subjective. If we're to agree time is linear, then the phrase is a paradox.

I never felt like his arguments were really paradoxical, just subtle.
Like when he says domesticity is the wildest adventure, it's not a paradox he's just thinking through all that actually has to go into a functioning home, it's a great undertaking by a whole society of people to be able to have that kind for security.

Incorrect for several reasons.

This phrase has nothing to do with time. It's about relative position in an allegorical queue (line, if you're American). We have defined the queue as having a fixed, transitive order. Even if we were speaking in terms of time, we know that what we're talking about is non-circular because of the existence of firsts and lasts.

From this, it follows that a reverse-ordering of a queue is logically consistent, because counting backwards (or, if you're too innumerate to count, starting with the "last" and taking the order that way) is possible.

No paradox.

Isn't Jesus himself supposed to be a paradox?
