Contradiction with Acts 10:34
Peter states that God shows no partiality, contradicting the idea of differing amounts for different people.
Acts 10:34: Then Peter opened [his] mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
Contradiction with Romans 2:11
It declares that there is no respect of persons with God, conflicting with Exodus 30:15's reference to differing contributions.
Romans 2:11: For there is no respect of persons with God.
Contradiction with Proverbs 22:2
This verse states that the rich and poor meet together and the Lord is the maker of them all, contradicting the implication of distinctions based on wealth in Exodus 30:15.
Proverbs 22:2: The rich and poor meet together: the LORD [is] the maker of them all.
Paradox #1
The potential theological conflict with Exodus 30:15 could be seen in its emphasis on a mandatory offering for atonement, which might seem at odds with later teachings found in the New Testament that stress salvation and forgiveness as gifts of grace and faith, rather than obligation or payment.
Paradox #2
Exodus 30:15 might seem to contradict other biblical teachings about equality if it's interpreted as supporting social stratification. In the verse, there's a distinction between the rich and the poor regarding the amount of offering, which could be seen as conflicting with other biblical passages advocating for equality and justice. However, in context, it emphasizes equal participation in atonement, regardless of wealth.
Paradox #3
Exodus 30:15 might be seen as having a contradiction or inconsistency due to the idea of a fixed amount required from everyone, regardless of their financial status. This could conflict with the modern value of fairness, where contributions are often expected to be proportionate to one's ability to pay, taking into account the difference in wealth among individuals.
