Contradiction with Romans 14:14
This verse states that nothing is unclean of itself, potentially contradicting the idea of abstaining from certain foods for the sake of others' consciences, as suggested in 1 Corinthians 8:13.
Romans 14:14: I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that [there is] nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him [it is] unclean. [unclean: Gr. common]
Contradiction with Matthew 15:11
This verse suggests that what goes into the mouth does not defile a person, which may contradict the concept of abstaining from foods in 1 Corinthians 8:13.
Matthew 15:11: Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
Contradiction with Mark 7:18-19
Jesus declares all foods clean, which could contradict the principle of abstaining from certain foods for the sake of others, as mentioned in 1 Corinthians 8:13.
Mark 7:18-19: Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
Contradiction with Acts 10:15
The voice tells Peter that what God has made clean should not be called common, potentially contradicting the practice of abstaining from foods for the sake of others' consciences as noted in 1 Corinthians 8:13.
Acts 10:15: And the voice [spake] unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.
Paradox #1
The potential moral conflict in this verse could arise from the idea of personal freedom versus the responsibility to others. It talks about giving up personal freedoms to avoid causing others to stumble in their faith. Some might find it contradictory to the broader emphasis on personal freedom in other contexts, as it suggests limiting one's freedom out of concern for others' beliefs or weaknesses, which can be seen as inconsistent with the value of individual liberty.
