Contradiction with Matthew 23:9
This verse advises against calling any man 'father' on earth, contradicting Deuteronomy 17:10 which instructs compliance with judgments given by priests as appointed authorities.
Matthew 23:9: And call no [man] your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Contradiction with 1 Samuel 8:7
This verse presents God telling Samuel that the people have rejected Him as their king, implying that divine authority supersedes human judgment, which contrasts with the directive to follow earthly judgments in Deuteronomy 17:10.
1 Samuel 8:7: And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.
Contradiction with Acts 5:29
Instructs to obey God rather than men, potentially contradicting Deuteronomy 17:10 where following human-leaders' judgment is mandated.
Acts 5:29: Then Peter and the [other] apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
Contradiction with Colossians 2:20-22
Critiques following human rules and doctrines, suggesting a contradiction with Deuteronomy 17:10's directive to adhere to judicial rulings.
Colossians 2:20-22: Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, [rudiments: or, elements]
Paradox #1
The potential contradiction or conflict in this verse could be about following human judgment over personal beliefs or divine guidance. It may suggest obeying decisions made by religious authorities, which might conflict with individual conscience or interpretations of divine will. This could cause tension for someone who feels that the religious decision is unjust or incorrect but is still required to comply.
