Check out Contradictions Catalog of Deuteronomy 7:26 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Deuteronomy 7:26. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Moses, this verse teaches Christians that they should not bring bad or wrong things into their home because it can bring trouble. Instead, they should stay away from them and dislike them a lot because they are bad.

Deuteronomy 7:26: Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: [but] thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it [is] a cursed thing.

Contradiction with Acts 10:15

While Deuteronomy 7:26 instructs not to bring an abominable thing into your house, Acts 10:15 states that what God has cleansed, do not call common (or unclean).

Acts 10:15: And the voice [spake] unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.

Paradox #1

One possible contradiction with Deuteronomy 7:26 could relate to the idea of unclean objects. This verse suggests that certain objects are detestable and should be avoided. However, in the New Testament, especially in the teachings of Jesus or the book of Acts, there is a message that what God has made clean should not be considered common or unclean. This shift from a strict adherence to ceremonial laws about physical objects to a more spiritual understanding could be seen as an inconsistency.

Paradox #2

The contradiction or conflict in this verse could arise from the idea that it commands the destruction of certain items or practices deemed impure, which might seem to contradict other biblical teachings about forgiveness, mercy, and acceptance. This could create tension between showing compassion and following strict rules of purity or exclusion.
