Contradiction with 1 Samuel 16:13
This verse suggests that anyone God chooses for a specific purpose, like David, can be anointed, not just Aaron and his descendants.
1 Samuel 16:13: Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.
Contradiction with Acts 10:38
This verse indicates a broader understanding of anointing, with Jesus being anointed by God with the Holy Spirit, which extends beyond the ritualistic anointing by people.
Acts 10:38: How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
Contradiction with 1 John 2:27
This verse contradicts the exclusive nature of anointing in Exodus 30:30 by indicating that all believers have an anointing from God, which teaches them directly.
1 John 2:27: But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. [in him: or, in it]
Contradiction with Hebrews 7:27
This verse presents the idea that Jesus, unlike the priests in Exodus 30:30, offered his sacrifice once and for all, questioning the perpetual need for a specific anointed priesthood.
Hebrews 7:27: Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
Contradiction with Matthew 3:11
This verse contrasts with the physical anointing using oil in Exodus 30:30 by introducing a spiritual anointing with the Holy Spirit and fire.
Matthew 3:11: I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and [with] fire:
Contradiction with Revelation 1:6
This verse states that believers are collectively a kingdom of priests, challenging the exclusive anointing of Aaron and his sons.
Revelation 1:6: And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Contradiction with Galatians 3:28
This verse emphasizes equality among all in Christ, contrasting the exclusive selection and anointing of specific individuals as described in Exodus 30:30.
Galatians 3:28: There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Paradox #1
Exodus 30:30 talks about anointing certain people to make them holy, which can seem like it's creating a special class of people who are set apart from others. This might be seen as conflicting with the idea that everyone is equal in the eyes of God, as it implies some people are more chosen or special than others.
