Contradiction with Jeremiah 31:31-32
These verses introduce the concept of a new covenant, suggesting a shift from the Mosaic law given to Israel, which seems to change the permanency of the "law of Moses" as a possession of Israel.
Jeremiah 31:31-32: Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
Contradiction with Romans 6:14
This verse states that believers are not under the law but under grace, indicating a transition from the law given in Deuteronomy 33:4 to a new framework of grace.
Romans 6:14: For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Contradiction with Galatians 3:10
This verse suggests that those who rely on the law are under a curse, which contradicts the idea of the law being a treasured possession for Israel.
Galatians 3:10: For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
Contradiction with Galatians 3:24-25
These verses suggest that the law was a temporary guardian until Christ, providing a different perspective on the permanency of the law mentioned in Deuteronomy 33:4.
Galatians 3:24-25: Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster [to bring us] unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Contradiction with Hebrews 8:13
This verse mentions the old covenant becoming obsolete, suggesting a contrast to the longstanding possession of the law described in Deuteronomy 33:4.
Hebrews 8:13: In that he saith, A new [covenant], he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old [is] ready to vanish away.
Paradox #1
Deuteronomy 33:4 states that Moses gave the Israelites the law. Some people see a contradiction with the idea that God is the ultimate lawgiver. While Moses delivered the law, the belief is that God is the true source of the law, and Moses acted as His messenger. This helps people understand that there's no real contradiction, just different roles represented in the process.
Paradox #2
Some scholars point out that Deuteronomy 33:4 states that Moses gave the law to the Israelites, but elsewhere in the Bible, it mentions different figures or suggests that the law was given by God directly. This can create confusion about who actually delivered the law to the people.
