Contradiction with Matthew 5:6
While Ezekiel 3:1 involves physically eating a scroll to absorb God's words, Matthew 5:6 suggests a metaphorical hunger and thirst for righteousness without physically eating anything.
Matthew 5:6: Blessed [are] they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 8:8
Ezekiel 3:1 focuses on consuming a scroll for spiritual empowerment, whereas 1 Corinthians 8:8 states that food does not commend us to God, suggesting physical consumption is irrelevant to spiritual standing.
1 Corinthians 8:8: But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse. [are we the better: or, have we the more] [are we the worse: or, have we the less]
Contradiction with Matthew 4:4
Ezekiel 3:1 represents God's word as food to be eaten, but Matthew 4:4 emphasizes the importance of every word of God in a spiritual sense rather than literal ingestion.
Matthew 4:4: But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Contradiction with Romans 14:17
While Ezekiel 3:1 involves eating as part of a spiritual experience, Romans 14:17 emphasizes that the kingdom of God is not about eating and drinking, highlighting a disconnect between physical acts and spiritual reality.
Romans 14:17: For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
