Contradiction with Joshua 24:15
This verse emphasizes the personal choice to serve the Lord, contrasting with Ezekiel 11:20's notion of divine intervention causing people to follow God’s ordinances.
Joshua 24:15: And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that [were] on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 31:31-32
This verse mentions a new covenant that differs from the old covenant of following statutes, suggesting a different means of establishing obedience to God, unlike the direct enforcement seen in Ezekiel 11:20.
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 Romans 7:15-19

Romans 7:15-19: For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. [allow: Gr. know]
Contradiction with Hebrews 8:10-11
Although it speaks of a similar inward writing of laws, it emphasizes the need for all to know the Lord personally, which contrasts with the unilateral divine action described in Ezekiel 11:20.
Hebrews 8:10-11: For this [is] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: [put: Gr. give] [in: or, upon]
Contradiction with Galatians 5:18
Suggests that being led by the Spirit frees one from the law, which seems to contradict the emphasis on strict adherence to commandments and ordinances in Ezekiel 11:20.
Galatians 5:18: But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
