Contradiction with Romans 14:14
Paul declares that nothing is unclean in itself, which conflicts with the prohibition of certain items considered unclean in Ezekiel 44:31.

Contradiction with Mark 7:18-19
Jesus emphasizes that food does not defile a person, suggesting a departure from the dietary laws such as those in Ezekiel 44:31.

Paradox #1
Ezekiel 44:31 discusses rules about food for priests. The moral conflict might be about fairness or why certain people are restricted from eating certain foods while others aren't. This could be seen as inconsistent with the idea of equality.
