Contradictions and Paradoxes in Deuteronomy 14:27

Check out Contradictions Catalog of Deuteronomy 14:27 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Deuteronomy 14:27. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Moses, God wants people to remember and take care of the Levites, who are special helpers at the temple because they don't get land like the others. It's important to include and support them in the community.

Deuteronomy 14:27: And the Levite that [is] within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.

Contradiction with Matthew 28:19

Deuteronomy 14:27 emphasizes caring for Levites due to their lack of inheritance, while Matthew 28:19 commands discipleship and baptism in a universal mission, which shifts focus away from exclusively supporting Levites.

Matthew 28:19: Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: [teach...: or, make disciples, or, Christians of all nations]

Contradiction with Galatians 3:28

Deuteronomy 14:27 distinguishes the Levite as a special recipient of care, whereas Galatians 3:28 declares there is neither Jew nor Greek, implying that all are equal and challenging the special status of the Levites.

Galatians 3:28: There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

Contradiction with Hebrews 7:12

Deuteronomy 14:27 presumes the Levitical order, whereas Hebrews 7:12 suggests a change in the priesthood and law, contrasting with the enduring care prescribed for Levites.

Hebrews 7:12: For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.

Paradox #1

The moral inconsistency in the verse could relate to the emphasis on supporting a specific group (Levites) without explicitly addressing the needs of others who might also be in need, potentially leading to unequal treatment. However, since the overall context of the surrounding passages often emphasizes care for various underprivileged groups, this might not be seen as a significant contradiction within the broader teachings.
