Contradiction with Romans 14:5
This verse suggests individual discretion in observing special days, contrasting the mandated observance in Exodus 12:14.
Romans 14:5: One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day [alike]. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. [fully persuaded: or, fully assured]
Contradiction with Colossians 2:16
Paul advises against being judged for religious festivals, which conflicts with the command for perpetual observance in Exodus 12:14.
Colossians 2:16: Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath [days]: [in meat...: or, for eating and drinking] [respect: or, part]
Contradiction with Galatians 4:10
Criticizes the observation of special days, which contradicts the instruction in Exodus 12:14 to keep the Passover forever.
Galatians 4:10: Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
Paradox #1
Exodus 12:14 talks about establishing a lasting tradition for future generations. A contradiction could arise if the tradition promotes exclusion or discrimination against certain groups, conflicting with messages of love and inclusivity found elsewhere in religious teachings. This could create tension between maintaining tradition and advocating for universal compassion and acceptance.
