Contradiction with Leviticus 17:10-12
This passage forbids eating blood among the children of Israel, which aligns rather than contradicts, but emphasizes the seriousness of the rule rather than offering direct contradiction.
Leviticus 17:10-12: And whatsoever man [there be] of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people.
Contradiction with Genesis 9:4
States that flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall not be eaten, supporting rather than contradicting Deuteronomy 12:24 which also prohibits consuming blood.
Genesis 9:4: But flesh with the life thereof, [which is] the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
Contradiction with Acts 15:20
Advises Gentile believers to abstain from blood, consistent with Deuteronomy 12:24, rather than providing contradiction.
Acts 15:20: But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and [from] fornication, and [from] things strangled, and [from] blood.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or inconsistency in the instruction could relate to differing views on the treatment of animals or the sacredness of life. Some may see a conflict between commands about killing animals for specific religious reasons versus general teachings about respect for life. Others might find inconsistencies with modern ethical stances on animal rights and welfare.
