Contradiction with Colossians 2:16
This verse indicates that believers should not be judged on how they observe sabbath days, contrasting with Ezekiel 20:20 which emphasizes keeping the sabbath as a sign between God and His people.
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 Romans 14:5
This verse suggests that some people consider every day alike, implying no special distinction for the sabbath, which contradicts Ezekiel 20:20's emphasis on sanctifying the sabbath day.
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]
Paradox #1
The verse is about keeping the Sabbath as a sign of the relationship between God and His people. The moral conflict might arise when considering situations where following this command could conflict with other moral duties, such as helping others in need on the Sabbath, which could be seen in tension with the idea of rest. Some may argue this creates inconsistency in applying moral principles evenly across situations where urgent help is required.
