Contradiction with Matthew 7:1
This verse instructs not to judge others, whereas Deuteronomy 17:4 involves judging actions to determine guilt.
Matthew 7:1: Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Contradiction with John 8:7
This verse suggests not condemning others if one is not without sin, while Deuteronomy 17:4 involves a process to judge and potentially condemn the guilty.
John 8:7: So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
Paradox #1
Deuteronomy 17:4 deals with the investigation of accusations and the need for certainty. The contradiction could arise if this standard is not consistently applied in all situations, leading to potential injustice if some accusations are taken at face value without thorough investigation. This inconsistency could conflict with the principles of fairness and due process.
