Contradiction with Matthew 15:11
This verse emphasizes that what enters into someone's mouth does not defile them, which contrasts with the strict dietary laws adhered to during the feast mentioned in Deuteronomy 16:8.
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 2:27
This verse states that the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath, suggesting a more flexible view on religious observances compared to the strict observance implied in Deuteronomy 16:8.
Mark 2:27: And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
Contradiction with Romans 14:5
This verse emphasizes individual freedom in choosing which days to observe, contrasting with the mandated observance of specific days in Deuteronomy 16:8.
Romans 14:5: One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day [alike]. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. [fully persuaded: or, fully assured]
Contradiction with Colossians 2:16
This verse advises against judging others on what they eat or drink or on religious festivals, which contradicts the strict festival observance commanded in Deuteronomy 16:8.
Colossians 2:16: Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath [days]: [in meat...: or, for eating and drinking] [respect: or, part]
Paradox #1
The potential contradiction or conflict may arise from the emphasis on following specific religious rituals or traditions strictly, which might clash with more modern or personal understandings of spirituality that focus on individual beliefs and actions rather than strict adherence to ritualistic practices. Some people might see this as restrictive or in opposition to a more personal and forgiving approach to faith.
