Contradiction with Jeremiah 31:31-32
This verse speaks of a new covenant that differs from the covenant made at Horeb, suggesting a departure from the past covenant.
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 Hebrews 8:13
This verse mentions the old covenant waxing old and vanishing away, implying the diminishing relevance of the Horeb covenant.
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.
Contradiction with Galatians 3:17-19
These verses suggest that the law, which came 430 years after the promise, could not annul the covenant made with Abraham, indicating a contrast with Deuteronomy's emphasis on the Horeb covenant.
Galatians 3:17-19: And this I say, [that] the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
Contradiction with Romans 7:6
It suggests believers are delivered from the law, contrasting with the affirmation of the Horeb covenant in Deuteronomy 5:3.
Romans 7:6: But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not [in] the oldness of the letter. [that being...: or, being dead to that]
Contradiction with 2 Corinthians 3:6-14
These verses contrast the old covenant written on stone tablets with the new covenant of the Spirit, challenging the binding nature of the Horeb covenant described in Deuteronomy 5:3.
2 Corinthians 3:6-14: Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. [giveth life: or, quickeneth]
Paradox #1
This verse could create a contradiction or inconsistency because it suggests that the covenant is directly made with the people present at that time, not with their ancestors. This may seem unfair to those who are descendants but did not personally agree to it, raising questions about the justice or fairness of being held to a promise made by others long ago.
